Welcome Karl, nice to have you here. [thumbsup]

+1 on the bike pictures. ;)

You might want to check into the OZ monsters (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=52.0) and meet some locals, it seems to be a pretty active group.

hey i shall post some pics as soon as i get my pic hosting sorted :) As for the vintage, my dad and i have indians, currently have a original 1942 Indian scout (741war model) and a 1944 Indian Chief full civilian. Apart from that, also have a ninja.
But afraid i love the twins, always been around them. Old man has had Triumps and harleys.

Forgot to mention, i also do alot of bike custom work. Got machinin gear at home, do alot of frame sliders, sheet work etc one off stuff. Mainly work with delrin for the sliders, but also do billet and SS for parts.

Thanks for letting me ramble on haha.

Looking forward to contributing to the forum :)

cheers
