I'm Back maybe

[bopa54]

Not been around for awhile after two engine failures on 2 different R3's, I have brought another motor for my 2007 R3 (The Black Rhino). Its good top see some familiar names from what seems like an eternity since I was last here.
Based in Western Australia an R3 is not a common bike on our roads, but with the miles that can be covered here it was made to be ridden in WA.
Hope to have a mechanical free ownership this time round.

Current Bikes are 1983 GS110G, 1877 CB750F, 1978 CB750F2 (both in bits) BMW R1200RT & and the soon to be resurrected 2007 R3 Phoenix (formerly The Black Rhino)

Owned a GTR for a couple of years...great bike and does everything well! Just couldn't put the right grin on my face and found it spent more time in the garage. At the time I also owned a MT-01...now that's a grin machine. But very limited touring capabilities as there is not much luggage options.
Recently acquired the rocket...which does both very well...
