Hey guys, been joining a few forums since I bought my GPX 250. Heard about this place from the Ninja 250 wiki

Picture of my bike the day after I got it home. Done a fair amount of work and still have a heap to do

Loved it. 2 of my kids were born there. But wife's dad died the last year we were there and we decided to move back closer to family.

Yeah, understandable. I'm finding it difficult to work in my bike with my own daughter needing constant supervision

I'm lucky now. My youngest is 17 and she works on her bike with me.

3 of my 4 kids ride. Wife and oldest daughter don't.

My daughter is 20 months old. Nothing worse than reaching for the socket wrench to find out she's made off with it

Enjoy them while they are little, they grow up too fast.

Welcome! I've always wanted to visit Australia.

Based on my experience over here in the US, you guys make some great cars!

2017 is the last year for the good ones.

After that, they'll pretty much be rebadged Opels.

Yeah, that's been happening here too. I know someone who owns an oldish Opel Barina. And the Chevrolet Spark/Barina Spark have been rebadged Daewoo Matizes for a few years
