    Hey everyone..

    Yes I am a noob on this site, though I am no noob to riding bikes. I have owned a few in my time.

    I learned to ride on a Honda CB250, then once I was able to come off the restrictions, I bought a GPZ750 which I kept for quite a while.

    After that I traded the GPZ750 for a GPZ900R. That was my favourite bike but unfortunately I had to let it go two years back : (

    I just recently was given the opportunity to buy cheap a GPX250. Well I never thought Id be happy riding a 250 again but I was wrong. Its goes like the clappers and is so easy to ride.

    So I am back on the road again and loving the wind through my hair.

    Im not sure yet how to upload photo's but when I get some time, I'll work it out and send you's a pic of my latest ride.

    Regards, Nina in Geelong.

    Hi Nina
    Welcome to the Forum. Have the festivities eased up yet with the Cats winning again.
    Lived in Geelong for 2 years long ago, loved the city just not the weather.
    From memory you have some great roads heading south, great bike riding country.
    Again, welcome on board and hope to see some Pict's of your ride.
                                                                          Phil

    Hey Jason
    Welcome to the Forum, good to have you on board.
    Magelli??? where have I heard that name before, everywhere!!
    They certainly are making an impact. Few members have encountered some issues but I think they are getting sorted.
    Good to have you on board.

    Thanks Chris.

    The forks arrived and are being fitted as I type : D

    Thanks to everyone who welcomed me to the forum.

    It seems a lot of people once lived in Geelong : )

    I love it here, and don't think I'll ever leave.

    If I do, it would only be to be closer to the GO Road.

    Ride On!!!!!!!

    Hi all,

    Just got 'carded' with a 2fiftycc.com card on Friday night outside the German Club in Brisbane, so here I am! I've had my RE for about 2 months now, and just got back from a solo round trip to Sydney on my Suzuki Intruder VL250. It was awesome :) Wrote a story about it and Cycle Torque thinks they'll print it early next year, so sweet :) Looking forward to meeting all you other 250cc'ers :)
