im new on here as well. About me Im born and raised aussie convict my family was sent here by the dumb poms. a quote I like is the British sent their worst people to the best country in the world. Anyway after a few troubled years i met my wife married her when i was 20 got 3 kids 2 are 18 + and my youngest is a teen. we live in adelaide south australia after having lived central nsw northern nsw and the snowy mountains we moved here in 2000 to give our kids the opportunities we didnt have growing up in the country and they've taken every opportunity and made the best of it.(Proud dad)In 06 my wife brought me a brand new speed master as i had to sell my old kwaka to fitout a room for her parents. as for why I ride theres only a few things i enjoy in life 1 adult time with the wife hehehe. 2riding my bike theres some others but stuff writting em. never been out of oz still to much i havent seen even tho the wife is a kiwi. really to be honest i had a nervous breakdown 12 months ago and riding is the 1 thing that keeps me out of trouble. As for work I work in an aged care facility as maintenance, mostly for veterans and their families, i work 5 hours a day earn bugger all but the wife works arvo's and it suits us plus its gratifying. I ride to work most days. well thats about it other than to say my speedy is lonely and as soon as i can talk the wife into it Im parking a thruxton next to it.
