New to old

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Another Aussie joining in here
Had and still have several Suzukis, but recently brought a L model as my first big bore 2 stroke
Thought it would be here by now so i could show off just how much work i have in front of me but Covid lockdown is slowing things a lot
No doubt be a regular visitor as i renovate and eventually ride

Welcome to the asylum Maj. Stayed & worked in the Frankston/Clayton //Lilydale areas in the late 90s and visited the East coast a few years ago for hols.
Hope to get to get back next year, but gawd knows what's likely to happen now with the covid thing.

Welcome to the friendly madhouse Maj, another Aussie joining the throng, you should fit in well here mate, as long as you don't let that grumpy rodent influence you. ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Be happy when i get it to the same stage your at Paul,
Beer sounds good , i actually like the variety here , the heritage shows through across the models and a problem solved in one is often applicable to others
