The last motorbike I owned in Australia was an old 1975 BMW R75/6 (like this one but grey and a lot tattier).
I had it for ten years all up and put something like 150,000 kilometers on it, although I couldn’t afford a speedo cable for a couple of years so the number is fuzzy. At one point a motorcycle-crazy flatmate lent me a couple of Koni shocks to replace the ancient and feeble originals and I put them on. They were a little short for the bike which made its rear end sit down and made the steering go light. The flatmate borrowed it for a ride and declared it "The Wobbly Bike" and it was known as Wobbly ever after. My current moto is a 1992 BMW R100GS and known as "Wobbly II" because I can’t be arsed to come up with a better name. [update: I have since sold that one and I am moto-free for the moment.]
When I wanted a domain name for myself a few years ago I picked wobbly.com. It used to point to a site with all sorts of weird stuff including the photos from the Hallowedding. Then I parked it for a few years. Now I’m figuring out what to do with it. Maybe it will be something to do with bicycles, my main form of transport. Perhaps I’ll focus on my writing. All will become clear in the fullness of time.
In the meantime I put random personal musings on http://brentcu.com and the occasional family blog entry will go on http://pooparazzi.wordpress.com. Jean’s BBQ photography site is at http://girlongrillaction.com.
