G'day everyone,
I live on the East Coast of Australia. I have ordered a Fire Red Street 500 and eagerly awaiting delivery.
This will be my 14th motor bike and hope it will be one of the best.

Hi Zoro, welcome mate. I have had my bike for about 8weeks now, which I got from North Coast Vtwins as the Harley shop wasn't open at the time here in my home town of Port Macquarie. The guys who looked after me at Vtwins Coffs were the ones opening the Port store, I have been into our Port store a couple of times, where I think you mentioned in another thread you placed your order, I had them fit my screaming eagle exhaust and air filter, they are great blokes to deal with, I've also been given great discounts on my bike accessories and riding gear, hope you have the same experience as me, cheers

Welcome aboard Zoro. You seem to be one seriously experienced rider. We would love hear about your other bikes and whether you have any of your older ones still with you.
There are plenty of friendly guys here and exchanging notes on ones experiences is very welcome.

Zoro mate, a salute to you! I wasn't wrong when I judged you to be a serious old timer. Well, it takes one to recognise one. Although you are way ahead of me both in age and riding experience. I got my licence in1981 and began riding with a JAVA and graduated to a Royal Enfield 250 which is still with me. Your list of bikes owned and ridden is impressive and we now await to hear of your impressions of the Street 750. I am sure it will be fun exchanging notes with you.

Welcome aboard from one Old Fart to another. Like you I've been riding since the 60's but I'm not going into the list of motorcycles... it would take forever just to remember them all. LOL
