Title: Newbie - Corko
Post by: corko on January 16, 2017, 09:33:02 PM

Hello,  I am the new boy from Wagga, Thanks for taking me into the folk.   Have  1981 XS1100R (RH) in start of rebuild. Took 2 years of talk to get bike from previous owner to my shed. Sat idle in the red dust of Riverina for 16 years. I have half an idea on what is needed to get life back into her, but the rest I will have to call on the group. (have others bikes but we won't discuss these as non Yamaha). Look forward to catching up with as many of you a possible from to .....
See ya corko.

You blokes have NOT been practicing safe accumulation.........

There appears to be a population explosion of the RH persuasion.


How's about a survey to determine the quantity of RHs amongst the brethren.

Thanks mate, 

I will be on the hunt for correct tank badges sometime soon.  Need to strip paint back and re do tank and some other tin.

Wagga is not a bad little place. I have been here since 95.   

I am heading to the "Bay", to Malua Bay, soon for a beer and fish.
