I thought since the stir I helped cause the other day I better introduce myself.
I have only got back into riding mid last year after 8 years & that was mostly on road. So am very much the novice. both my kids are into riding so talked the handbrake into allowwing me to have a bike so I could chase kids around (WR 400).
Every time I come home from a ride I have either broken the bike or me, handbrake tells me I am too old I disagree enjoy every minute.
i hope to meet you all on some rides

G’day puddles welcome from another newbie. Seems the kids have a lot to answer for my first go back on bikes was because my daughter was racing back in 2000. Was shortlived but life goes on and in 2008 along comes a mate with 4yr old son, mate decides as he wants son to ride he must learn to ride as well so he buys himself a bike (a crf450r as he had no idea about bikes and just liked its sound and hand polished frame in shop:woohoo:)so he can ride with son. This gave me the perfect chance to jump in again as he just had to have a ride buddy .

Good pic sirdropalot (I will now call you sir for short), is that the stock tank looks bigger than the ones on a DRZ

Chris.

Just a stock tank Chris, maybe looks bigger because of no stickers,one was wrecked from petrol when I got it so took them off.

What a great site for old bulls and congratulations on the name. I recently rented a drz 400 and spent the weekend with 2 old mates (we used to ride together in high school) riding rainbow beach and associated tracks. Loved it so much bought a new drz 400 and now looking to meet and ride with like minded blokes.
My bike is just run in 400klm still have to get some gear and fit sump guard , barkbusters and a new tail/brakelight assly and probably radiator guard. Never had a bike with a radiator before. Last bike I owned was more than 20yrs ago Montesa 250 enduro prior to that Honda SL125.
I live in Ormeau (between brisbane and Goldcoast)where there are a few local tracks, havent explored them throughly yet. Looking forward to meeting up with you all at the next Qld event.

G’day gotowo, as said before great name, another Qld Gerry bull here. I have the green version of yours, the klx 400 they are good bikes for us old fellas starting out again. Ktmrat you have my blessings to pick on my green one :blush: all my friends do…….or maybe its the rider they pick on, either or fine with me:laugh:. I am a fair bit north of Brisbane but get down that way a bit so will try to meet some of you guys for a ride. Hav’nt worked roster forward yet to see if working or not on organised ride weekend but if not will try to get there and bring along some other old bulls who can’t work computers :ohmy:.
