    Hawking Downunder

    Hey there....

    I'm from Brisbane Australia.

    Well picked the bike up last Wednesday night, got a road worthy that night, then registered it the next day... have done about 400ks on it since... I'm finding it rather hard to get off it to be honest!

    It's my first bike and I'm very happy with my choice.. did a lot of reading up on it and a got a lot of great info from this forum.

    It's stock at the moment, apart from a Ohlins rear shock and a Supertrapp exhaust, looking to freshin it up a bit with some bar end mirrors, some LED indicators and maybe twin headlights.

    Well thats about it for now
    Finally got one!!

                not sure about your query on profile,
                but a lot of the members here use a free photo hosting site then link to it using the img tag which basically links back to the photo.

                If your looking for parts theres JD Hord (who is a forum member)based in the states, Wemoto in England and theres one I deal with in New Zealand as well and of course all the knowledge and experance of the forum members.
                also the American list server ( yes I lurk there ) too.

                    That happens everywhere, not just down under.

                          I was going to the same thing.
                          Most people has no idea what it is but the few that know are very excited to see it.
