G'day all. I introduced myself a good while ago, I'd just started riding and was talking about getting a flying brick when my licence grew up. I've hardly been back since, been busy in the big blue room so I decided it was time to come back and say G'day.
I ended up getting a GSX650 to run out my P's with after the little 250 was taken out from under me by a wayward tourist. Lack of experience on my part, lack of care on his part.
Been loving the experience of gaining experience, did a 7500KM trip up to the north island with my tent strapped on the back a couple of months ago. Rain, hail and shine it was good.
As for my idea of getting a K bike, well it's still alive, but for the moment I''m changing to 2cy. I've just bought a '95 R1100GS with only 30K Km on it as my first BMW bike. Waiting on it to arrive from the north island so havent ridden it yet, but I'm looking forward to getting my arse on the seat. I'll still hang 'round here, and if the opportunity comes up to ride with any of you I hope you won't laugh at me for being a bit short on cylinders.
