    Well I have finnaly picked her up.
    She is a 2005 Yamaha VStar 650 Custom, I know they are nothing new and everyone has seen about a million of them, but this one is special........because its mine! Her name is Rachel (named after a stripper, but thats a whole other story!)
    Picked it up of a mate who got it new and has barely ridden it, he only put 10,000klms on it so its still in very good nick.
    It is currently unregistered and will stay that way for about another month as I am getting married in June and the honeymoon after that.......so all my spare cash at the moment has already been allocated elsewhere.
    Once registered I will make all efforts to come down to coffee on monday nights to meet you all and come along on a few rides, but till then I will just sit on it in the garage!
    Cheers
    Flanno

    Nice bike. Well done.

    Now, tell us about Rachel (the stripper). That's sounds like it might be interesting too.

    Sounds like a good pickup, a bike named after a stripper.
    Ofcoarse she'll have to change her ways and get all 'dressed up'':)

    Not much of a story to tell the truth.............Rachel was a stripper I saw whilst driving through MT Isa on posting, she was every bit the dirty stripper you could imagine being from MT Isa, and the things she would would do for $5 was outrageous! and me being the tender age of 19 at the time it is one of those things you will never forget! But the reason I have named nearly everybike after her since is at the time I said "wow I just want to get on her and ride like a mad man" so I think that translates pretty well to motorbikes!
