Greetings,
I'm new to motorcycling and to Australia
I came from Belgium 3 months ago and thought it would be rather stupid to lock myself in a cage in such a great weather.
I'm 28 yo, male, living in DY, NSW. I own a '01 ZZR250, ride it every day and absolutely love the feeling!
Cheers!
Alex

I've been living in Leuven last 5 years, it's 30 km east from Brussels. It's Flanders but the language border is just 6 km from the town

Although he seems to suffer from that terrible affliction that many people get when they arrive in Sydney, particularly if they head anywhere near the beaches or harbour. SLR cameras become permanently stuck to their faces. I think they can be surgically removed, but it's painful. A similar illness invovling camcorders afflicts many Japanese tourists when they visit the penguin parade at Phillip Island...
Just kidding
