muddy1100 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Gday all. Muddy. Have been around bikes all my life - all kinds - jappas, east and west euros - dirt and road. Have been fortunate enough to have owned or ridden some very rare birds, some as common as muck! Ridden in many different countries (I think about 19 - some a little hazy...); seen some amazing sights from the saddle, met some truly wonderful people; been wet, hot, frozen, dry, loved & lonely but am still rolling after around 34 years... Am gobsmacked at the depth of knowledge, help and support on this site - a bloody credit to all involved. I see we have the usual full internet spectrum - from "which spanner?" to the gurus who wee red, white and green... Looking forward to yarning with you mob - hopefully I can add a tiny percentage back to what I have already gleaned from this wealth of experience and knowledge. To the future....cheers! If anyone is doing the Lap de Oz, please drop me a line - special place up here but special rules apply as well - you can get deceased real quick if you're not prepared and careful....

muddy1100 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Welcome muddy, good to see the Aussie contingent getting larger. Gday Mark909, Thanks mate - will be good to see more "pins" on the world map on the homepage as time goes on... Any suggestions as to where in Brisvegas a fella might be able to see a reasonable range of tyres? Will be passing thru Slacks Creek side of town and have found Brissy Mcycle Tyres on the web... Have a Tomtom so tracking em down is all good but somewhere on the SWest side is easy. Any tips for a 'groper far from home would be much appreciated!

Mark909 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you get a bit West of the big smoke you could try Two Wheel Tyres, they are just beside the intersection of the Warrego Hwy and the Brisbane Valley Hwy. If you want to get really fancy tap this into the TomTom... S27 34.522 E152 42.221... and you'll find yourself there. Good ride if you go via the Bris Valley Hwy, Splityard Creek Rd, Mt Glorious.

Gday Mark909, Thanks mate - have not spent that much time on your side of the paddock 'cept for the GOR, Tas, Alpine hwy, SW Vicco and SE SA - i.e. South of Sydney town all on the Sport1100. Will look at all and any options - work 2on / 2off and so have a few days up my sleeve. Thanks again all, very kind. Cheers mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Jasper Gday Jasper, You poor sod - what a terrible commute...must be horrible on a warm afternoon... My commute is 180kms of the wildest country in WA, incredible scenery but probably not as... interestingly shaped as yours! Cheers mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
