Scotsman on a ZXR250 in Oz - Och Aye ! Hi All.
Sat Apr 14, 2007 10:30 pm
Hi to all you Green Meanie Riders out there ! 
Scottish Stu here, been living in Oz since 2000, been around a bit, but mostly lived in Brissie and Sydney - Now settled in Botany with a mortgage, 2 year old kiddie, and all the other stuff that comes with it.
I was building up a FZR400 (3TJ), then another FZR400 (1WG With 600 motor) but got sick of looking for spares .....Plus I found out I have to ride as a P plater for 12 months even though I am over 30 years old...
So sold the lot and just bought a Kwakka. (Always liked Kawasaki more than Yamaha anyway, ever since I saw a ZXR 750 popping on the overrun down a hill after screaming itself silly down a straight when I was 15 years old, I wanted one badly ! )
I now run an Aqua Blue ZXR250 (1989 A model), and thought I'd better go legal and get my licence ! (The Highlands in Scotland did'nt really have many cops about, so just arsed about with my lil bikes with no bike licence
, and a modded Golf Gti on the twisties )
Been a while since I have had a bike (14 years .... !!) but ....
Took the wee 250 out today for my first proper shakedown run / test -
WOOOOHOOOOOOO !! I know it's only a wee beastie of a bike, but man I loved it !
Screams it's little nuts off, and put a great big smile on my dial that's for sure
Anyway, I like talking about bikes, cars, anything with motors, I used to be a fitter / offshore / forklift / hydraulic / crane technician, so like to occupy myself with pulling shit apart and rebuilding it !
Good to be on board the KSRC forum, hope to upgrade to a bigger bike soon, but one step at a time !
Catch you all in the forum.
Cheers.
Stu.

Welcome Stu. Shame you live so far away. You could come and help me pull my 600 apart and put it back together - and we could drink bourbon and bitch about being P platers.

Jet Pilot, for sure, up for a ride thru Nasho, soon as I get me licence (5 weeks, counting the days ....), yesterdays jaunt was a wee bit naughty ..... Sorry Orrficer, but the carbies needed a blow through !! But it was only for 20 mins around the local burbs ...
Gonna enjoy having a chin wag with you guys.
