Secretly trying to have an aussie kawi forum without me huh? How come I didn't know about this :evil:

Anyway now that I found you guys a little introduction is appropriate

I'm from Istanbul / Turkey, after living is Australia (mostly in Sydney) for nearly 10 years decided to move back last year. I had a kawi zzr600 and zx9r (this was housemates bike but we shared bikes and cars like family) when i was in Australia and now I have a ZX-10R which i bought a few weeks ago. I'm really enjoying it but I am also missing my group of riding mates in Sydney

Anyway I guess now I'll have some online rider mates

LOL. Actually the road to my work is a 5 lane silky smooth highway, and cops don't hassle you, so basically no speed limits. But yeah during work hours the city traffic is just hectic. So i gotta say we have better highways but Australia has better twisties.

It sucks to live in one city half of your life and in another city for the other half. You always miss one or the other, there are awesome things about both. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. Wife is an aussie btw which makes it even harder.
