If you've got pics on your pc you're half way there.

1 It helps if they're about 800x600 and no more than 100k...although I can fix that bit
2 When you click on new topic or reply to topic there is this bit you can click on.
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/79662007636709.jpg
3 Then you browse your pictures and double click on the one you want....and follow the prompts...

I'll finish this in an hour or two:)

Hello Gaz,
How is Welly for riding these days,I grew up there and loved the lap of the city we used to do from the Basin around the bays to past the back of the airport through miramar (I think...long time ago) and back round to Island Bay and over the hill through Brooklyn (thinks again) and back to work in Adelaide St (road?)Great way to spend lunchtime.A stack of RD's,GT's and my trusty Kwack triple.Strokers everywhere.
Where in Welly are you?

Yes Roogazza,sheep jokes indeed. With time on this site you will discover that sheep are not just for marrying UN ZUD style, you can also cook them on the BBQ:D

I started in Stokes Valley , grew up with the Hiscocks (aussies should remember them) and raced with Graham Crosby (he married recently) Manfeild is not far from Palmy but closer to feilding. Yeh, Piecock ! great name for it . Good early in the morning before the 4x4's get on there ! I too had the Mach 4 in about 73.

Some of you jokers may remember the movie 'Stone' ? The stunt guys in it were mates, we lived at Epping in Sydney but all came from the Hutt Valley. We're talking 1970 now so maybe too long ago?
I'll stop burbling now . Gaz.

Me bikes in the gallery mate, although I'm buggered how lookin' at me bike will tell you how fast I am (unless it's a Humpty Dumpty, then that'll just show you how slow I am) (Oh actually I forgot, yer back in NZ, you probably still call video clips 'moving pictures').

And no, I'm having a good day, I'm just one of those blokes who the better I feel the more trouble I look for. It's a fun, exciting way to live.

02-12-2006, 01:35 PM
I been working hard mate............. yeah yeah I know, you've never heard of a kiwi that works hard before, but I was.

There's a bit about it in one of the other threads. Actually I've been down near Melbourne a couple of times in the last 2 weeks, but decided not to hang around too long (I won't be posting those stories on any public forums though mate, needless to say there was 'humpty dumpties going everywhere' on one occasion)

Sorry chalk, I didn't realise my photo would re appear so I deleted it. Make allowances , I'm only a Kiwi !!!!!! G.

I Have a good mate in Hamilton. He just sold it but, owned the Montana Resturant in Vict Ave I think it was ? Pete Stark !!! Gaz.

02-12-2006, 02:24 PM
I left in 86' mate, and haven't been back since.

From what I've heard Vic St is completely different to what I knew. I have a brother back there still, he has a panel shop, 'Restoration Services' or something I think, on lakeview road, can't remember the name of the area anymore though.

I did customer technical support for NZ clients when I was in Melbourne around the turn of the century, and they used to tell me all these things about how wonderful the King country / Waikato area was. Took'em 6 months to figure out that I grew up (kinda) in the area.

But there is no better place to learn to ride, wet and dry.
