Born in New Zealand in 1955 and lived in Australia since 1986. In my teens and early 20's lived, breathed and played with motorcycles, the majority being Triumphs, raced in motor cross and road racing in NZ.

- Other information about my bikes
- The TSS was transformed after fitting the Dunstall mufflers. The originals are very restrictive and constrain the power of the 8 valve engine. Very satisfying classic to ride. Fitted new, modern material clutch plates and now the clutch plates free easily.
T160: Purchased August 2012 with 476 kms on the clock. Spent the first 35 years of its life in a motorcycle museum with only 5 kms on clock. A lovely new, old motorcycle.
