    Newbie from the Gold Coast

    Hi all.
    Had a quick look through the forums. Love the banter haha. Was wondering if there was any local guys that ride from time to time. I have always had the disease where anything I buy can't be left standard past 12 months and I picked my first road bike up a year and a half ago.
    Had a bit of a fiddle with the front end and it's safe to say I have caught the streetfighter bug. Already looking at my next project while I have this one on the road. Thanks in advance for the ideas and knowledge I will no doubt find in this place lol. Cheers

    Yea mate, I'm Gold Coast and a few of us get out every now and again. Keep an eye out in the SE QLD section to see when things come up: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...30-SE-QLD-AREA - Bingara was the last one and that was a great weekend.

    Also, Motorcycle Accessory Shop has started organising Bike Nights and apparently a few show up to that (although judging by your headlight - much like mine - it's not much cop at night): https://www.facebook.com/www.gcbikenight.com.au/

    Oh, and welcome aboard mate!

    Cheers spriggan. It's ok. It's a wave headlight and I split it and upgrades the bulbs. Not too bad now. Was horrible. It ran real hot before too.
    Cheers geesexar.
    I certainly will gix. Appreciate the welcome. That bike night is on again this month and is moving to Coomera masters carpark. I ride with the group that organises it. Closer to urs than Nerang as well.
    You were the one that told me about this website when I did some plumbing work at ur joint haha. I blame you for the modding of a perfectly good r6 lol

    Ah yea, the plumbing bloke. Hello mate.
    You may have noticed there's a ride coming up on 5th December just posted up by Terry as well.
    Well you've definitely got the right idea with that R6 mate.

    Ladies and Gentelmen, take my advise. "Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."

    Cheers gix. Late in signing up so sorta finished the r6 with little to no direction haha. Happy with how it's turned out though. Some of the builds on here are impressive. I love garage builds. More character.
    Cheers for the welcome boys. Hope to meet some of u eventually on a ride one day
