    Hello from England

    Hi to all, I've been lurking around this site for a while getting my thrills looking at the superb build pics so I've joined up at last.
    As an old 2 stroke boy from the late seventies/eighties, my bike days gave way to the usual financial struggles of life and now at 55, like many others, I can afford the bikes I could only dream of 30 years ago.
    I wanted to restart my biking with my dream bike- GT750, but a beautiful untouched GS1000 came my way instead - I kept it immaculate as it was for 8 years then bought a GSX1400 3 years ago.
    It's got me out of my old school groove and made me realise what modern suspension and a fat back tyre can do, unbelievable!
    It's a lovely bike, a K3 in Worx Suzuki colours and I'm trying to get rid of some of the previous owners bling, I'd rather ride than polish.
    I want it to look like a lot of bikes I've seen here- as hard as nails, so I'll keep lusting and perving on your great Aussie Streetfighter style.
    I'll get some pics up if anyone is interested,thanks for letting a whinging pom in!
    Cheers Mick

    Hey Mick! Welcome aboard mate. Sorry for the delay of getting your post moderated, but all first time post have to be checked by me as most of them are spam. Good to have you aboard, and any photos won't go amiss of either the GS or the GSX, or better still; both.

    Haven't been to York in years, but I remember it being a beautiful town with the old city walls etc.

    Cheers mate

    Thanks for the welcome, As nice as it is I'd swap my York for yours tomorrow! We just don't get the climate for a good crack at biking here- grey skies and wet roads for half the summer usually
    Shame cos there's some great roads but here's hoping for this year. I've been working with a guy from Adelaide who's been here 20 years- he says he loves our 'seasons', I tell him he's mad!
    I'll get my pics off the PC and put them up,cheers guys.

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