Hola from Melbourne, Aus (van)

[van]

Hey folks :)

26yr old graphic artist and illustrator from Melbourne here. What's happenin'! I feel a bit weird being on a Kiwi forum, but I prefer the visual style of this one over the big Aussie forum, so here I am haha. Yeah, I'm all about the aesthetics!

As proof of that aesthetics comment, I bought a Hyosung GT250R last week. Just like me to go for looks over performance! Heh. I pick it up next week, and I get my Ls on the 20th of May, so I'm a 100% noob! I've spent all my time up till now in the performance car world; sold my Supra, and here I am in the bike world. Ack!

Anyway.. G'day :)

Any other Aussies on here?

I'm jealous. There more bike shops on Elizabeth street than there are in the whole of Auckland (ok, I can't actually back that claim up), but more importantly while we have to put up with Pukehole as our local for track/open days, it's only a hop, skip and a jump down to Philip Island...

Sometimes I wanna move back...*mutter mutter*

Oh, and welcome to the mad house!

Gidday mate. Welcome to the site. I'm a Pomm with Kiwi citizenship and defacto to an Aussie (Queenslander). Explains why I'm confused all the time.

Nice city Melbourne. Been there a few times, love the place.

Welcome to the site :)

[OMG]

Weclome to KB - don't know what the performance is like, but have to agree, the GT250R is a nice looking bike.
