Owner of a 1999 Modified VMax :) Proud winner of "Longest Distance UK" at the 5th Mad Max Rally.
I ride bikes all year round which previously was ...Brrrrr! BUT Now I live in sunny Queensland in Oz:)

I have owned quite a few bikes over the past years (many ended as rigid chops): 2x VMaxs, 2x Kawasaki z1000s, 4x Honda CB750Ks rigid chops, Honda CB750DOHC, Triumph T100SS rigid, Honda CB500T, Honda CB250G5 chopped, Honda CB100N, Kawasaki Z400J rigid, Kawasaki Z250LTD, Kawasaki Z200, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki TS100ER, Suzuki GS550 rigid, Suzuki GSX400 rigid, Honda CM200, Kawasaki GPZ1000RX, Honda CB900DOHC softailed chop, Yamaha XS250 rigid ... and im pretty sure ive forgot about some!

Ah, some updates to this.. which was written about 5 years ago.
Now have in my shed:
Z1 rigid chop which I have now restored and ride,
CB750 F1 mild Rat custom, its almost complete.
TX 650 Yam rusty donor/non runner for a future project.
XS 650 Softailed chop ridable, but could do with a hardtail!
2x CB360 G hondas which are really really ratty, but will both run..in time :)
A CB750 chop project, currently a pile of parts and is my active project.

..I still have my Max of course and it will undergo a re-mod once I get a lowered and embossed VMax seat.

* Aha! New updates Feb 2009.
In addition to the above:
My shed also contains another Honda rigid Chopper almost finished. Its a K1, has a santee frame (I think) and also raked yolks. A rigid xs650 chop..nice and matt black. a Suzuki Savage LS650 midly modified, and a ugly standard Enfield 500 Bullet.

So, I may be at my limit as.. my shed is full and I now need a bigger one! :)
All these bikes are bought cheaply, typically as parts and I build them up from bits from the dump, ebay, swapmeets and trading with friends. I dont have shinny show bikes etc..but I do have ridable chops that are fun to build on a limited budget over time.

Thanks for reading through!
