hey, my name is Tom and new to the whole bike scene.
im an 18 year old south australian looking to get involved. i dont have a lot (lets not pretend, i have nothing) to contribute, but lots to learn so ill be doing a lot of reading... and probably asking a lot of those really annoying rookie questions.
due to currently being between jobs good old bankSA doesn't want to lend me any money.. funny that.
hopefully ill be hearing from/starting my plumbing apprenticeship within the month, and borrow the gap 3 months later.
when those 3 very long months are over ill be looking at buying a 250 ninja from the dealer.
until then ill be riding my mates 250 when he'll let me, and looking at lots of pictures.
oh hai

Re: oh hai
Welcome Tom, a few of us Burton, Paralowie way 
There's a ZZR 2fiddy in Cashies Window, I don't know what they're asking for it though.
Looked in good nik through the window and waiting at the lights.

Re: oh hai
Welcome mate!
Plus, if no one has told you yet, you're probably going to crash your first bike
so have a look at what your excess going to be to repair those pretty plastic bits.
But, if you want a new bike go for it - just 'cause I'm cheap doesn't mean you have to be
If money's tight and you're only just starting an apprentiship I wouldn't be spending your money on a newie. When you're getting into riding the bike is only a part of what it's gonna cost you. You'll have to spend money on gear (helmet, jacket and good gloves are an absolute minimum!) and if you do get a loan for a bike you're going to have a large insurance premium to pay along with loan repayments!T-MaKK wrote: when those 3 very long months are over ill be looking at buying a 250 ninja from the dealer.
