Hi everyone!
My name is Nick (If you couldnt gather that from my username.......
I am 25 years old and I like walks on the beach and flower..... oh wait wrong site.
I live on the eastside of Melbourne Vic.

I am a optical sales rep and unfortunately dont have much time to work on my cars much!
But because of my frustration of driving down the freeway traffic when i work in the office i have decided I want a bike!

I havent ridden bikes since i was about 10 (Except for a ride around the block on my brothers bike last christmas) so i needed to get my L's and re learn!!!

I bought my 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 250R SE from my brother a few months ago and got my licence not too long after! Now I'm addicted.....

Im mainly a car person as bikes scare the crap out of me!!
So here's my car history. I got bored with my cars easy once id done some mods i moved on!

I have had a few jap imports for my car history.
Previous: (In order)
1993 Ford Fairlane
1989 Honda Prelude
1990 R32 Skyline GTS-T
1990 Honda Prelude
1989 R32 Skyline GTR
1987 Nissan R31 Skyline (Tow Car)
1989 Nissan Onevia (Jap Built Drifter)
1989 Honda Prelude (Another one!)
1991 Nissan Pulsar GTiR
2009 Toyota Camry (Work Car)
1989 Nissan 180sx

Current:
2008 Mini Clubman S (Work Car)

So, that should give you an idea of what im about. A bit of a car person.

As for the bike, I am uploading pics to photobucket as we speak and will post them up as soon as they are done!
So far all i have done is replace the stock muffler with a Mussari Slip on.
But I am about to order a few more parts......
Adjustable Levers
Fender Eliminator
Jet Kit
Uni Filter Pods

After that will come:
HID's
Intergrated LED Tail Light
Bar Ends
Slider Spools

And this week I am going to get some Night Shades and tint my screen.

Thats the plans so far!
Looking forward to meeting up with everyone soon!!!!

But out of all the cars, my onevia was amazing! it was the only car that really scared me!
