    Hi Guys & Gals
    My name is Paul and I live in Brisbane Australia.
    I have just taken the plunge on the venerable XJ model with an XJ750 and an XJ900.
    The XJ750 is a runner and is in pretty good nick for its age.
    The XJ900 is in pieces (I bought it that way) but complete......
    I pick up the 750 this Saturday and the 900 on Sunday. They join my seemingly expanding (in an unplanned manner) collection of motorcycles (23 and growing).
    Look forward to keeping in touch. I'll post a couple of photos when the bikes get home.
    Cheers
    PK :D

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    I do have a dearly beloved who just the other day admitted to one of her girlfriends that I am a collector - BREAKTHROUGH!! That is a green light to buy a few more if I've ever seen one.....

    The list;
    Yamaha XJ900, XJ750, RD250LC, V75 (scooter), LB80 Chappy, FZ750
    BMW R1100S
    Kawasaki Mach 3, GPZ600R (or ZX600A1 in the USA), G7, KLR650
    Suzuki GSX750SZ Katana, GT380, A100 MkIII, TS100,
    Honda CB900F2, CX500, NSR250, C92
    Moto Guzzi Lemans MkIII
    Ducati Panigale S, Pantah 500SL

    There's no real basis to the lot just what catches the eye at the time. 12 are registered for road use. 2 are ready to go, three are restos in progress and the others are in the queue.
    Cheers
    Paul

    Good stuff, congrats! 8)

    That's the best way to buy bikes, pick up the ones that kinda jump out at you & ask to be helped...
