Part of your initiation into Australian Motorbike Culture will have to be a compulsory viewing of Mad Max, then all will become clear

Got quite a few questions you'll hopefully be able to help me out with, but firstly whats a "girlfriend" hoffy and should I be offended
I'm moving out with the wife and kids, so obviously my main priority is to get a bike sorted, bugger finding somwhere to live, thinking of a ZX9 (or maybe an earlyish blade

).
anyway, I'll post up a few q's as I think of 'em

G'day Dave, as they say in OZ.
Dont worry you will be forever known as the Pommy b****ard from your new mates in Oz, take it as a compliment.
Im the 'Irish P****' and came here in 1994. The more they slag you the more they like you (so they tell me)
Get yourself a ZX9 mate, I bought one this year.
Buy yourself a tinted visor and a perforated leather jacket for the Oz summer.
You'll see a lot of blue sky in OZ (Especially on a 9).

hey Dave #1576
thanks for the link..top pic of the 9
have to say the 9R is highly rated here
fyi...we get 'RIDE' mag out here in our local news
along with 'BIKE' and 'Performance Bikes'..the other UK mags
when you get out here, am sure you will chuckle about furry fasteners
and salt on roads articles in these mags ......when riding in blazing sunshine
Having ridden in Wales in the middle of winter........phark me it was cold
snow on the hills, black ice and top temps in the -minus figures

riding out here will be a revelation ...just make sure its on a Kwaka
cheers

Welcome and don't worry about the pommy thing. They are all just jealous.
Just remember that 1% of the worlds population is English the other 99% just wished they were.
