Newbie from Oz sayin G'day
Gday from Sydney,
I'm Mick, from the western suburbs of Sydney. My ride is a 98 Blade, pretty much stock except fo a yosh rs-3, k+n filter and 520 chain with 16/45 sprokets.
The thing is a bit of a rocket, that i'm learning to control. Jumped on it straight of my L's after only been riding for about 6months. After a day at the Superbike school and a day on the track, definately keen and ready for more track time, and i'm looking at getting it down the quarter with some mates on bike night. I'll let ya know how i go!
Looking at ordering a dynojet stage 1 kit from the US, bike bits are an absolute rip off to buy over here. Can anyone recommend any good sites or shops that do good prices on blade bits, especially go fast goodies and bling?
Also wots the general concensus on how i should go about getting the most out my bike, i'd love hear some other blade-nuts opinions.
Cheers
Mick

"The things a bit of a rocket." Why can't we talk like that in the States? We say crass things like, "a$$-kicking" and "bad-a$$".

Anyway, welcome to the bladeness, mate.

Welcome fellow Aussie
Being the first bike after your L's take your time to get to know your level of skill, riding a track day and riding on the road are 2 different beasts, speaking of which respect the bike, or she'll kick your arse in a split second, ride safe and enjoy
