A new pup saying hello from down under

[TNT]

I can't really say G'day, but I can say with conviction 'Good day me ol booties' as I'm originally from Plymouth and sneaked off to live in the country with plenty of sun and space way back in 1991.

My 1st bike when I arrived in this rather large country all those many moons ago was a Beemer K100LT. How things have changed since as I now have just got back into the saddle again after 16 long years spent in 'dream-time.' The wait has been worth it though, I think, maybe (ish) as I am now one very chuffed and spoilt hubby with R1200GS after much pestering and most probably a tincy wincy bit of brainwashing to boot!

Anyway, I must say I'm a lucky devil as I live in the South East corner of Qld which has some some magnificent rides on my doorstep; all to be eagerly explored.

Still miss the Motherland a little and especially the unique 'pommy' sense of humour, so now I've joined this site I feel a wee bit closer to home again...

The UKGS'ers site looks like a fun and interesting place likewise are some of the charecters I've read about

Cheers for now
Terry

PS. Anyone help; I cannot get our little smily friends to download to my introduction which makes me quite :-(

Hi Digger,
Always weary when it comes to the Northerners; one evil little chum even followed me out to Perth, so when he arrived I quickly legged it to the other side of Oz otherwise I would have ended up talking double dutch like him

look out for the northern ones, , welcome

Hi GSwadd,
Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to the summer where I'll prove that the 'blue' one's are certainly the fastest

Hi Smilee Mark, Us Pomms have the only real great sense of humour, otherwise we would have kept all the villains in the UK and shipped the good one's out here to Oz all those years ago

G,day , I think they tolerate us expats here, sometimes i am not sure or is it that English humour?

Hi Mandylicious,
Well I'll have to agree with you there; my better half still loves me and its not because I have the Elvis looks (Well, I don't think I do) so I must be making her chuckle still

Hello and welcome
