    Hi everyone

    I live in the Hornbsy area, started with a road bike … went for a dirt bike ride and decided i wanted a dirt bike … went on a Harley ride day with a group of friends and decided i wanted a Harley … bit all over the place really just like riding :blink: … but anyway what i have is a BMW GS 650 … figured it was a compromise … have just started messing around on the dirt roads on it. I didnt mind riding the road rides by myself actually kind of enjoyed it but figure that isnt the best approach on the dirt.

    But to sum it up ….. limited skills off road / maximum enthusiasm :) so keen as to go on a few adventure bike rides!

    Hey Rach. welcome to Old Bulls. Great to see another lady with a passion for riding bikes both on the dirt and tar. I use to live in Hornsby but now in Artarmon. As TB has shared I love all sorts of riding so have a few different bikes to manage my passion. My favourite type of riding is adventure riding with camping involved on my XR400 but the bike is being rebuilt at the moment after flogging it on the APC Rally. So the BMW650 is getting a work out on the tar at the moment. Would love to meet up for a ride. I have done lots of adventure style riding north of you so have lots of tracks to share….. And a few good pub stops. I’ll PM you with my mobile details if you want to hook up for a day ride.

    Hey Rach….. Nice new toy you got there…..

    We will be doing some riding over the two week Xmas break with the goal to improve my technical skills…… Mick will need a stiff drink each night. I’m bring up my CRF 230 for a blast…. Even thinking of taking the bikes to Bellbird Pub and doing some singles around Kitchener. I would be great to have another chic around for the giggles….

    Hey rach
    Welcome aboard
    the few rides i have been on with the obt crew have been awesome,
    You will find everyone very welcoming and helpful.

    Great to see another girl riding,
    It might even get me out of MY comfort zone,
    and get out on some more rides if more girls are riding,
    and lower graded rides are on offer!

    Well welcome again, and anytime your up kurri kurri way,
    Or keen for a ride, let me know and we will tee something up
