Hi folks, thanks for adding me.
Just got this beauty after nearly thirty years without a bike and am totally loving it.
Life is sweet indeed!

Gidday SteveD from haggis county.  Looks a lovely example of the breed you've snared yourself.  Take it easy as the others have said, they're usually very manageable, but provoke them & they can bite alright.

Most of all, enjoy your new bike.

  The wise ones never try to come between a man and his bike, let along the ultimatum "me or the bike"

G'day mate. I'd recommend a refresher course with a reputable riding academy.

Hi SteveD and welcome.... 

Welcome Steve ........... 30 years without a motorbike

I sold all my bikes when I moved to Australia.

I arrived here with no job, home, furniture, AU driving licence, tax file number, back account.... nothing. I was an unemployed pedestrian with everything I owned in 2 suitcases.

I found a Suzuki dealership and bought a brand new Hayabusa and asked for polished wheels, double bubble screen, Yoshi cans etc to be fitted out of the crate.

Life's too short to waste days without a motorcycle.
