Sorry folks i didnt introduce my self my name is Dean im from wollongong australia its about a hour drive south of sydney australia on the south coast a industrial town with mountains escarpment on one side and the buetifull australian coast line on the other.. the town is deep inriched in culture and we have a large car and bike inthusiasim even though the local goverment does its best to kill of the sean a large majourity of the people custumise anything with wheels to there indavidual taste.. there is a abundence of american 50's to 70's mucle cars hot rods harleys and everything inbetween.. the motorised bycicles are a big hit here and even though the police are big on booking us for anything they can as we have a 200 watt limit on anything power assited here.. ive been doing my best to help get the mesage across about this cool gren for of transport.. and its cool just to have something different.. trafic conjestion is a majour problem with all societies around the world and is no different here.. as the goverment cant tax us , they want every thing to be registed and insured etc..
on a personal note ive been modafing cars and pushbikes since i was a little kid im now 43 years old.. the black chopper bike you see on my profile i dremnt up when i was 14 but no one would weld it up for me so about 10 years ago or so now when i was in to mountain bike riding big time all the boys started buying beach cruzers like the Dyno bikes to ride to the pub on a sunday ,, which gave me the insperation to build that chopper that was floatying in the back burner of my brain as i now could weld myself.. so thats how it all started with me.. whats your story???

Hey Dean,
Welcome to the forum. Lots of boyz from Oz here and it seems like all of you like to go fast.
My story is I wanted a motorbike when I was a boy, the old man wouldn't let me and now I'm an old guy with several of them. Took awhile, but I got my bikes. (So screw you, Dad)
Ha!

ha thats funny as i was in the same vote as you..

heres the story.,l beeing from a poor family and broke i built my own and serviced all my bikes and the neighbourhood kids,, which earnt me more bucks for projects my pushbikes were from the dump or of the side of the road on clean up day, still the best sorce for vintage parts.

finally i was given a mono shock push bike new for chrissy when i was 12 i think that thing weighed a ton but, that thing nearly killed me, but i still pested for a motor bike when they caught me shoe horning our lawn mower engine into a old pushy with no brakes dad bought me a mongose bmx i was king of the neighbourhood and started bmx racing this was supposed to cure me of my passion for a motorbike, yeah right..

,, my mums brothers grew up with bikes so mum was cool with it, only condition she had was you want a bike you get a job so you can pay for it,so at 14 i bought a old suzuki ts185 home in about 6 milk creats, 2 days later i was riding it around, ..
So many cars push bikes motor bikes later ive learnt some very important things.. how to make money save a fortune buy doing things myself andbeeing independent to name but a few,, it has taught me more about life and how to live then any lesson in school..everything i do today comes from the basic lessons i learnt on all theings motored etc.. so kids if you are reading this follow your passions and belive in your self..
