G'day A2Z,
Good name m8. Am also in the Illawarra and don't know why the above "buddies" didn't tell u so. I always say that I'm from the Gong rather than the Illawarra so that's probably what confused the lads.
I am also relatively new to the club and can recommend the guys who I have met or exchanged posts with to b friendly and helpful. Abe, Rubencan and Saaz are not that far away and are very keen riders.
Glad to have another member on my doorstep. My dragon is a red 1300 that grew from a baby dragon in 2003. It really does breathe fire from its Two Brothers pipes.
I'm sure Wyvern will show your youngster the ropes until he is run in at 80,000 km.
Anyway, welcome to the forum and will see you on an Ride To Eat (RTE) soon or PM me 2 meet and ride.
