Thought I'd take a mo to introduce myself.
I'm Palmy born and bred. Spent 10 years in the south, back home about 5 years ago.
Have been riding since I was 9, mostly on the farm and beach till I was road legal.
Nearly killed myself at age 16 on a GSX400e, f*** that was a quick bike for it's size. Car pulled out of a drive way in front of me in a hurry, didn't see me (bet ya never heard that before!!!)
Took me almost nine years and four specialists to fully recover, though I was back riding after a couple of months. Screwed my rugby career though.
Didn't have a bike for about 6 years, had a new family and could only afford one vehicle for ages, and until recently had to have a car for work, however my wife's car was playing up so we swapped for a day, at which time she wrote of my coon.
Turned out to be a blessing in disguise, managed to guilt trip her into getting a bike again (not that that was too difficult, but she does have a fear of them). Been back riding for a few months, had to relearn, but still love the ride.
I decided to obey the law and get a 250 this time, finally got my restricted license after 15 years on my learners.
Currently saving for a bike that can actually do 100 kmh regardless of the wind/hills. Probably gonna be a Suzuki, but I'm not really biased against any Brand, nearly bought a bandit 1200, but chose the legal option instead.
Whatever I get, it will defintly be a cruiser of some description.
Anyway, thats a novel and a half.
Keen to hook up for casual rides around the region, drop me a line.
