Newbie from Oz say'n Hello!
Just thought i'd say hello to everyone! 'Hello' 
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....

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...

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.
