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?

Hi Van and welcome, welcome to the BIG WIDE WORLD of Kiwibiker!!!

Hope you enjoy the nuthouse and getting out on your bike!!!

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.
