Yea, welcome aboard mate. Always good when the lurkers come out of the wood work. I'm guessing you're NT as well so get involved with Benz as he's a bit by himself up there! What you riding or planning to ride?
Cheers
Colin

Cheers for the welcome guys.
It's good to know there's locals around which is basically why I decided to join, so I can contac them, but you guys seem like a friendly (someimes weird) bunch []
By next week I will have no bike at all. I sold my 98 600 Ninja not long, and the 250 'Ninja' will be gone very shortly.
I'll just wait out the wet-season, then I'll buy another bike, (still totally unsure of what I plan on getting). I'm still quite new to streetfighters, but I plan on doing one and being different
Benz, I would've loved to make it this weekend, but I'm going down to Brisbane in a few hours for the weekend. Obviously I'm in Darwin as well.
-
sometimes i have no bike,but i think we call it the dry season down south.Benz is from here so he knows what its all about.Holiday/tourist season is about to begin so im lookin forward to the wet season.
Cheers again
Barry.

Well there you go then! I'm not alone.... Good to hear of some interest from another rider in the Territory, welcome to the madness,'sheezyman'...... that name may cause you trouble
Wet season is coming, but we've got to endure the buildup first. Anyone from the topend will tell you when it starts raining, its a total luxury/relief, after sweating at 90% humidity for a coupla months!
Come on you site lurkers in Darwin......we need to get together, do some rides , maybe a run to Bachelor.... I know there are a few guys who run fairly regularly down there on a Sunday morning. The road in is more than enough corners for one day, [compared to the Stuart Hwy,any road is curvy] and you can have a swim once you get to the Falls.Personally I sleep in on Sundays, but it would be worth getting up if there was a few of us playing[8D]

Hey Benz. Do you want some spotter cards to take on your runs mate? Get a few guys into ASF.
-
Tyre destroying, mad bastard menace
Yeah Si, why not

Email me your address again mate (just for confirmation) and I'll get it sorted.
-
Hah, I get in trouble without the damn name!
I will definately be going for rides when I do get my new bike next 'riding' season, but that's ages away....

Ah, good old Darwin. I really miss that place.
When we were living up there I had my '82 Katana sent up and the bastards lost it! Somehow it ended up being unloaded in Alice Springs for a few days and when it finally arrived the screen was broken.
There are some things I don't miss about Darwin.
-
Tyre destroying, mad bastard menace
Yeah Cruise, I had a similar thing happen to me. I decided not to ride back to Darwin from Alice, after doing a six month stint playing at the Todd Tavern. I put the bike on Kwikasairs overnight truck, and when I picked it up there were scratches down the left side, and a cracked indicator, pissed me off big time, as the bike was still virtually new. As it turns out, I ended up driving the same damned trucks a coupla years later, and I realised the bastards who put the bike in at the time had no idea how to deal with it.
Things change, everything is in a crate now, or it doesn't go on.
I should have ridden............

Got caught up in a 'session', and didn't have enough operating brain cells to make it to the drags....... shit happens[8D]
I did manage to hook up with an old buddy who has got back into riding, [he bought a very tidy '77 Z1000]and we had a bit of fun low flying around town on Sunday.
-
Sounds good, I haven't made it to the drags for awhile. USed to love going down to watch MAD AS HELL back before they had any lights and all drags were during the day, then watched as Aerotech Express would blow up with regular yet spectacular monotony year after year! I intend to Mod ny 636 cause I can't sell it, so hope to get out and ride more after spending money over the wet.
-
I haven't been to the drags in years as well. I think it wasn't since last season or the season before that.
BTW, OW where've you been trying to sell your 636? I've been looking in the local ads hoping one would pop up! (Although now I'll wait till after wet season)
