This is my first time on a forum but have been on bikes most of my life, although due to work commitments not enough in last 10 years. Starting to remedy that now at 61.
Live in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia, and will look forward to meeting some members round here.
Got my 1995 K1100LT in 1997 to begin my BMW journey - still going great at 145,000km, followed by a 1987 R80G/S PD a couple of years later. A few months ago added a 1990 K75 because I already had a twin and a four - it needs some work but is progressing.

Cheers

Welcome Gaz, that's a nice bunch of bikes you have. I wish I didn't sell my 80G/S PD also.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I may be heading up the New England Hwy from the Hunter to Toowoomba on 8 July so will put the message out  once finalised in case I can meet up with members who are on that route.
Gaz

I am sure I could be somewhere to be met.

I took the car this trip. pissed down, I mean poured the whole way from Wallabadah.
Sadly, it was to a funeral....an old, old friend and fellow BMW rider. GS1200. Only 53.
Sean.

Forgot to add; you're most welcome to call by in Guyra for a cup of tea on your way through, Gaz!

Welcome Gaz, great riding in oz, must get over on a bike. Nice stable mate.

Hi again guys. Just trying to get the photo posting happening so I thought I'd try to post photos of two of my toys out and about.

Gaz

I am familiar with the first place but the second with the PD is that from Mt Hotham just near the village.

Top marks in Australian geography Rick. I love the riding around the Victorian/Snowy Mountains high country.

Hi Gaz,
Great to have you with us and an excellent stable of brilliant bikes good on you.
