Newbie from Oz say'n Hello!
 

Just thought i'd say hello to everyone! 'Hello' :mrgreen:

Just came across this site while looking for forums on firestorms/superhawks. Looked good so here I am joined up and wanting to say hello to everyone! Hopefully i can get a few good tips for my bike.

My names Suzi, i'm from Sydney, Australia. Been riding for umm 2.5 years and previous and current rides include; zzr250, zxr400, vtr1000f3 and gsxr1000K3.

Where are most people on the forum from?

Oh and this a pic of my ride....

Hi!
I would go to sydney next year.

Beautiful pipes!

Hi, welcome to the site... I'm from the Buffalo, New York area. Nice looking rides.

Hey there, how you doin'?:twisted: Welcome to the forum.

Ah yeah...nice...cans.

Welcome to the board. We are mostly from the US but we do have members from around the world and actually a number of Aussie's.

Welcome. Yeah, like everyone else, noticed the nice lookin' silencers. What kind are they?

Great lookin' locale, too. Where was the picture taken?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Would love to do some touring through the US one day after seeing some of the pics on your site. ***sigh*** so many twisties i wouldnt know where to start...

Those cans are Staintunes that i've got. Very happy with them - they do the bike justice...

Oh and the pic is from a trip i did down south to Eden in NSW. Gorgeous coastal town - real laid back and beautiful scenary and roads there including a neat 200km loop... :twisted:

Well I don't know if I'd start there but the Dragon inNorth Carolina has 318 curves in 11 miles!:twisted:

yeha deals gap isnt it.... i've heard of it... sounds like fun.. hmmmmmmm 318 curves.. bring on the twisties :twisted:

***keeps dreaming***

There must be tonnes of traffic going through there including those happy to hand out tickets... reminds me i think i saw a vid somewhere of some harley (?) guy running wide on a cnr somewhere down there too.. silly harley rider - almost felt sorry for him....

Yep, aka Deals Gap. It's not really too crowded, especially during the week and there are plenty of sites that keep an ear on what the cops are doing. The Harley guy tried to pass a truck in a corner and then freaked out and stood his bike up. I actually drove by a little later when they were pulling it out.

I rode the Gap on August 2nd .. That road is all and more than it is famed to be. It is the best run of road that I have ever tore up in my life.
This year I did not have the SH to ride although I was fairly impressed with what I could do on my Father's Harley.
I shredded his pipe, dusted his brake pads and blued his rotor :O All that and still avoided adding to the tree of shame.

I will be back next year around the same time if anyone wants to join me and my crew. I can't wait to hit that road again.

Oh.. and welcome to the site...

Cheers!

Sorry to jack the thread but let me know 98 I may be living in that area in a year so....

Will do... I will have my SH and my VTR 250 out there next time.. should be a blast.

:cool: I'll try to remember but I doubt that will happen.

Welcome, and nice SH!

Welcome to the site, anytime you guys want to ride the gap let me know. I can always take some time from work.
