Default Hi From Australia

Hey,

I stumbled upon this forum a while ago, and have been silently stalking for a while ever since my workplace banned the previous Australian Kawi forum I'm on damnit.

I've been riding 5.5 years now and have a 2003 ZZR 600, which has the seat and preload lowered so I may comfortably touch the ground without dropping it AGAIN. I stand only 5' tall, so there are some short issues involved, most of which I've overcome all bar the "which bike next" question, which remains a mystery because there's nothing low enough yet. Please Mr Kazawaki, build me a short, medium powered bike! Yep, all that made sense didn't it.... not.

I'm from the land of the superstar Casey Stoner - lucky us with our wonderful Phillip Island - the religious retreat for all those inclined.

I love this place Australia and I love my bike, and I love that its summer now and we get out just about every day

This forum seems to be mostly American, would that be correct?

If your workplace banned your previous Kawi forum, wait'll they see this one!!! (You might get fired!)
Seriously, welcome aboard! There are some others on this site who have seat height issues, so maybe they can help with tips or advice. (Or you can help them!)
We always like to see pics from members; especially from "distant lands," so feel free to give us a tour of your beautiful country.
Again, welcome!
