Title: Another Irish Member
Post by: kquacker on Tuesday, 17 October 2017, 08:32 AM
I'm a muscle bike fan having had 2 ZRX1100s and a 1200. Been lurking for a while and bought a GSX1400 recently from a mate.Still have to collect it and bring her home from Skye. Looking forward to putting lots of miles on her.

Hi Kquacker. Great to have you join us. You will enjoy this site. Lots of good people, good info and a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
Look forward to some photos of your new scooter.

Hope things are not too rough where you are, news says you guys are copping some bad weather.  :cheers:

We escaped the worst of it here in Co. Mayo- other parts not so lucky. Still blowing a bit here though.

Hi kquacker
I hail from a wee place called Newtownabbey down the road from 3 times WSBC champion.
Will be travelling through your way next summer, hopefully you can give me a weather forecast as to the best days to go ;)

I'm from a little place across the water called Dundonald. Came out to Oz when I was 3 y/o in 1970. The more Irish on hear the better I say (although, I am an official Aussie now)  :cheers:

Yeah, one of my favourite spots. Problem is leaving it but as they say you have to leave to come back. Winters closing in so I hoping to have her here by the end of this month.
