[trumpy509]

Hi all, new member (but old b'stard) living on the gold coast. love streetfighters and they whole modyfied bikes thing, being from the Uk and doing the "bulldog Bash" every year for waaaaaay too long i miss seeing modyfied fighters buzzing around the place. catcha later

[Elapid]

Welcome Trumpy.

[trumpy509]

cheers mate. just waiting for my payment details to be emailed back and i'll be a fully paid up member, with more ideas than expertise and knowhow..... so no change there.

[ozzy1100]

well and truly welcome mate your not the only nutter pom in the south east with that perticual fetish old boy lol

[JDinOZ]

Welcome mate!

[wackyrider]

Welcome mate. i reckon i should have stopped up around that area rather then Melbourne. It gets cold here!!

[trumpy509]

yep, some great roads around here for a good blast, just need to watch the real popular spots over the weekend due to the increased intrest of the local cops....... wadya mean i need a rear reflector officer? and i always thought "not for road use" was just friendly advice!! great weather too, cept its pissing down now and wanna go for a blast around tamborine/advancetown :-(. Welcome to the madness indeed. Can anyone recommend a decent place for advice/servicing and bits on the coast? ive heard gold coast tyres are ok, but after working for a certain bike shop in springwood i'm a bit wary of the franchised dealers in that area.

Hi Steve
Sorry for the delay mate, I'm back on board today so I'll get your email answered ASAP.

Also, if you want servicing or advice go and see Ricky and the boys at Motorcycle Performance and Dyno Centre in Lawrence Drive in Nerang and tell them Si form ASF sent you, they'll help you out with whatever you need mate: www.mcdyno.com.au
