Hi all new to Australia and this great site
« on: January 18, 2015, 07:41:23 AM »
Hi all,
We moved here from the UK in december 2013 (after 8 years of flying back and forth visiting my daughter and family in Sydney) we decided its much easier and far nicer to come to Australia and retire and enjoy life.
I have had many bikes whilst in the UK including a ST1100, I brought a highly modified Yamaha XTZ750 with me from the UK and it now sits in the garage with a Honda CB450 K1 1968 and a Honda St1100 abs/tcs 2000 both bought here in Australia.
Looking forward to meeting up with some of you guy's anybody local to me in Kincumber ? I hope to do the national meeting as well to say hello.
Cheers Jim

Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome messages, I will definately be going to the national meet at Toowoomba and the local meet next month at Brooklyn, just getting the satnav all rigged up so I can find these places although getting lost is good fun seeing places I never new existed  :thumbs
Looking forward to meeting up with you all and hopefully learn about some more great places to visit etc.
Cheers Jim
