. . . I love my job more than anything. Teaching gives me a satisfaction and reward that money can't buy. But there are other things that I love besides teaching . . . Really fast bikes . . . Home made Rock music . . . . . . awesome peaks to climb . . . . . . or whatever you can find . . . ! A quiet game of pool . . . . . . a cold beer with good friends ( wherever you happen to be . . . ! ) . . . something to photograph . . . . . . and . . . motorbikes that aren't really fast, but get you there anyway.

"I live life on two wheels, and sometimes on only one." . . . Appearance is not ( solely ) important, but performance is paramount ! A bike that looks good, and performs well however is my Goddess . . . and the road becomes my bride . . . . . . together with good friends who share my love of the open road, wind in our hair, high speed as our companion, and power on tap - my life becomes complete. Life should be taken seriously, and thus; fun should be taken more seriously.

Roxanne ( Roxy ) and Roseanne ( Rosie ) are my two beloved Yamaha TZR's. They are almost cosmetically identical bikes, but they are both distinctly different and individual - with their own personalities. I have owned them both for many years, but for the past two years, I have been giving them extensive rebuilds. I have finished rebuilding both bikes now, but this is where my labour of love began . . . Before the rebuild . . . They were both terribly neglected ( I had other, more exciting bikes to ride ) when I began the rebuild - often working all night in the shed ( actually my lounge room ) - to get some part out, or put something in ( I won't bother you with mechanical terms ) to get them up to what you see today. Roxy ( Nearest ) and Rosie ( background ) rebuilt. The new Rosie . . . Now, only the open highways and the winding mountain roads await . . . Forever Two Wheels.
