Hi all,
Just wondering if there are any fellow professional riders here.
Ive been a courier here in Sydney for a few years now and of course a 2000 naked SV650 is my weapon of choice.

Great way to earn a living but our weather is a bit of a worry!

Used to be - about ten years working out of Birmingham and London. Great lifestyle, brilliant social life - not much profit after buying new bikes every couple of years.

Another ex-courier here, seven or so years in the London traffic.

Weapon of choice? The mighty GT550 of course. Here's a piccy for those in lands not blessed with the wondrous GeeTee.

(Not quite sure why anyone would want to write 'Encapsulation, Ineritance, Polymorphism' on the pic though, odd).

GT 550 (of course), GT 750 x 2 (better), CX500 (horrible, but comfy), XBR 500 ( two of these - cheap Honda singles) VT 500, XJ600, CB250RS, Oh, and an MZ.
