G'day folks

[dudders7]

I have recently moved to Sydney, and yesterday I bought my new machine. A shiny yellow ZX6-R with less than 14,000 miles on the clock. Happy days eh, anyway the question is, is there anybody on here in Sydney who fancies a ride out sometime? I will be joining the Australian bike forums but would not mind a ride out with another English person. On another note, hope the weather is good there as we had the coldest day in 6 months the other day, 21 degrees
Cheers all

I was going to say I wish I was in Sydney, but then thought better of it.

That's a pretty good price. Mine was 2k and is a nail, but it's a G model, not an F.
I'm down for that. Have you ridden there before? It's awesome. You need to check out galston gorge too.

Nicely done, no I have not been there before having only just got some wheels again since leaving the UK plus working 7 days a week sometimes at the moment. I will drop you a PM with details regarding this weekend. Cheers bud

Watch out for 'roos, the fucking things are imbeciles. I've hit a few in cars, I can't imagine what they would do to a bike.

Edit: derpy typo

We also had the coldest day of the year. Sunny and High was only 19.5 C. Winter is upon us. Don't "ook forward to 3 months of such cold temperatures.

When I left in the morning it was only 11 c. Had to use the hand grip warmers. Weather for eskimos ek se

Dunno how big a Kudu is, but even hitting an Eastern Grey (or having the bastard look at you, decide you aren't getting past, then slamming into you - this happened to me) can leave you needing new panels on the car at best. Can actually write the car off sometimes.

Interesting stuff guys, look forward to seeing these animals when I have a chance to travel.. On another note, the bracket for the rear suspension reservoir has snapped and I have tried repairing it 3 times now to no avail, lasted today then heard a massive bang on my way home this afternoon and found it hanging next to the wheel having taken a big chip out of the rim, good eh! Would anyone know where I might get one? Its a 95 model, searched ebay and could not find one. Perhaps some kind soul in the UK might have one I could purchase off them
Thanks guys

How are you all moving to Sydney? Let me come over. Civil marriage. I'll pay you £1,000. We'll make it work for a year or so then just say we grew apart. I guess then I'll just have to stay over there....

[Irn-Bru]

What are the roads like over there? Long and straight like America? I have heard that it gets so hot that the tarmac starts "sweating" which makes the roads very greasy.

The roads in and around Sydney are pretty much the same as any city in the UK, although some have much more spectacular views, especially going over the Sydney harbour bridge. That is very enjoyable on a motorbike. I have not yet experienced the roads out of the city although I will be heading to the National park with several others this weekend so I will be sure to take some photos and do a nice write up. I believe Mattsprattuk will be joining us, if there is anyone else who would like to come along please do let me know.
Cheers all
