Hello All,
Real name is David and i am 52 years old. I have been riding bikes since i was 9 yrs. First bike ever ridden was a converted Bridgestone 50cc road bike.
First bike i ever owned was a Deltek Grass Grub (zip start lawn mower engine 125cc), since then i have owned dirt bikes, road bikes and trials bikes. Just got back into riding after a 3 year break. Current bike is an 05 KTM450EXC and i am slowly coming to grips with it.
I am based in Sydney and have been riding around the central coast lately with my son.
I learned about OBs in Trail Rider magazine and was interested in a site populated by older riders. Although “me time” is pretty scarce at the moment i hope to get involved in some local rides in the near future. I am having a crack at the Watagans Trail Bike Rally in June and Sunny Corner in September. I might be able to catch up with some OB members there.
Gday Dave, thanks for the intro, your story sounds similar to many of us around here.You’ll enjoy the banter that goes on around OBT,especially if you have thick skin and can take a joke.
Welcome Dave, so what was the problem with the activation e mail? Hope I helped must of I guess your here :laugh: Lucky you didn’t say you had a Kato or I may not have helped
nah would of helped.Bridgestone didn’t they have a rotary gearbox if my memory serves me well, they became a big hit with the bucket racers when the series first kicked of years and years ago
Welcome champ, yeah Ollie’s right (that wont happen much :laugh: ) avoid a Murphs ride if your getting your sea legs back but that said don’t go with Ollie unless you still have your Deltek rock hopper cause that’s his pace
Nah Ollie will take you on a good ride up the Watagans TB
Get it right TB Dave had the Grass Grub
I had the Rock hopper :laugh: Only the seat had suspension.Ollie
G’Day rebore, welcome to the site.
Lots of good rides happening just outside Sydney and lots of laughs to be had.
Enjoy the site mate.
oh and we do chat about bikes occasionally.
Mal.
G-day Rebore450
Sure you will enjoy this site :woohoo:
Most of these old bulls will remember the pull start Deltek, or at least a few of us
You’ll have to come up our way and push that little 450 to its endurance limits :silly:
Was thinking of puting one last ride on the last weekend of this month
Expressions of interest needed :ohmy:
If it happens you are more than welcome mate
Cheers
Murph (can’t help myself) the surf
