New Aussie

Yogi · 02-18-2015, 05:49 AM

Hi there folks,
It's about time I introduced myself.

I've been riding bikes on and off for about 25 years.
Started out on a little Yamaha 80cc step-through scooter on my Uncle's farm, then his 125cc Ag bike. Years later onto a 250cc Yamaha Virago, then a Suzuki GS500F, and now a Y2k Vulcan Nomad 1500 FI (aka "Phoenix") that I bought off my brother-in-law about a year ago.

I'm a sparky by trade and lucky enough to live in an awesome part of South Australia (driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world, not that you'd guess by looking at it).

I can hear the hecklers getting restless in the back row, so I'll leave it there for now

See you around the forum,
Yogi.

Welcome. I lived in Geelong in the mid 60s and worked for a short while in Sea Lake, Vic. Really enjoyed your Country.
