    G’day all. Well my intro goes like this. I’ve just recently got back into riding after being pretty messed up physically by a car that did not give way and decided to T-bone me about 20 years ago. So I took the plunge two years ago and brought an old xr 250 to get the confidence back. Just upgraded to an 07 DRZ-400 (love it). I come from the southern parts of Victoria, so if anyone down this way is interested in a ride that would be great.

    Cheers

    Welcome to OBT Jack. As others have mentioned Menace lives down your way and I’m will be keen for a ride. He just had his first Old Bull experience so he can go and spread the love now :P

    Mick’s brother Ant on here is also from your way too. Menace is on his way back home today so will more than likely be on the internerd tonight and see this thread :)

    Hello Jak, nice to make your virtual acquaintaince, the best thing about trail riding is in all these years I am still to be T-boned by a bit of Flora, and the Fauna is way softer than a tin-top.
    Glad to hear you have recovered enough to ride again, must have been hard work.

    Good on ya’s.

    Will defenatly have to catch up with you all at some stage for a ride and I dont mind traveling. My only drama is i’m a shift worker which involves some weekend work but if i get enough notice i can swap.

    Have already laid the ground work with the Cheese and Kisses regarding the high country ride. she was reluctant but when i showed her the post earlier, on the work the OB riders did with the bloke on the BM who had an off, well, she came around.

    Cheers

    Sadly no, just a glitch in the systems somewhere! Happens to the best of us – I think it is when you log in from different computers. I have logged in (historically) from 5 computers over the time I have been here which may be why I show up 5 times? Just a theory!

    Go the DRZ by the way! :)
