Spending a good part of its life in a Queensland shed collecting dust and rust, this little SR was given a new start at the hands of Camperdown head mechanic Jeremy. Starting with a top to bottom engine rebuild. Cleaned and trimmed up the frame finished in classic black powder coat, Blasting every nut and bolt, fitting a KLX Swing-Arm and new Gazi Shocks. Then moving on to giving it a tracker look with an over sized Kedo oil pump, custom head light mounted with custom headlight number plate, duck tail tracker seat cowl, custom made pipes with a Super Trap muffler, Fork brace mounting the front fender, Mini speedo and K180 Dunlop tyres. The tank and seat cowl were treated to a fresh lick of paint from our good friend Dutchy. With custom surf racks fitted, this smirky SR is laughing all the way to the beach.
Heralding from a thirty-year lineage, this 1998 CB400SF was rescued in Java and reborn with a single purpose: to become a proper weekly rider. Lifted in stance and sharpened in spirit, the Viridis Viator, the Green Traveller, lives for clean lines, quiet power, and the long way inland.
The ambition for this Kawasaki W800 was simple: dial down the stock noise, while creating something that was subtly custom, runs clean, while building something that wouldn’t look wildly out of place doing the sacred scoot down to Bondi for an overpriced long black.
This year’s playground was Pantai Kelecung, raw, remote, and still clinging to the Bali of old. Coconut palms, undulating black sand beach, riverbanks, and open fields formed our trackside theatre. This wasn't a doddle, this was a test of dirt and devotion.
