G'day Volvi and all other members,
Just joined up today having found the site whilst trying to find out information about throttle locks, but thatâ€s another subject.
I moved to Australia permanently, from the UK, last November and picked up my new ‘busa a month ago. Yes, itâ€s the white one, but I like it! I previously owned a K3 limited edition black ‘busa, which I bought new, but some ‘tealeaf†(thief) stole this from my locked garage in London when it was 13 months old. Itâ€s probably being ridden around Europe now, because it was never recovered. Once the insurance company paid out I bought an R1, but always wanted another ‘busa, so new life, new bike.
The bike is pretty standard at the moment, although Iâ€ve ordered a double-bubble screen so I can see the dials properly, Iâ€m 6â€4†and have to duck my head to see them and with the cops being so hot on speed, it helps to have an idea what you are doing. Bought a dodgy number plate though, ABU54, just in case car drivers are wondering what just went past them! I know, sad bastard, but I can see from pictures on this site that Iâ€m not the only one, thankfully.
So here I am living on the ‘Sunshine†Coast, now renamed the ‘Rainsfine†Coast by me, desperately waiting for some good weather to go for a blast. No, Iâ€m not scared of the wet, get real; I come from the UK for godâ€s sake, but just prefer nice weather!
Donâ€t know that many people up here, so keen to ride if anyone is interested and lives reasonably locally. I am off next week with some friends from Brisbane, for a trip between the highways from here to Sydney, so that should be cool, in more ways than one.
Great to join a group of like minded people, look forward to keeping in contact.
Hey, before anyone mentions it, I know my username could possibly be considered a bit suss, but it was my nickname in the UK, where it wasn't and I like it!
