New GZ owner in Australia
 

Hi just picked up a 99 GZ250 which I was going to use as a runaround bike but my wife had commandered it for herself. Good original bike not modified at all. I have just finished a VN800 Vulcan rebuild which is customised and I have ripped the GZ down to the frame. Mostly detailing and cleaning up. Engine covers, forks and tree were a bit ordinary so they all copped the paint treatment, painted the exhaust in heat proof black and wrapped. Redid the original black in a heavy metallic green with GT stripe, detailed the brake drum and rear drive.
I have some new grips and mirrors to go on and I have some smaller turen signals to fit. Modifying the rear duck tail to take them. Forks and brakes are being rebuilt .

Put up some photos soon

Been reading through the forum and there is some really helpful stuff on here. thanks in advance

Welcome !

Welcome OZ. Hows the weather down under? Good for riding?

We are pretty blessed here Goose. Most of Australia has a good temperature. Some of the southern states get quite cold in winter but nowhere like you guys. Really cold for us is minus 2-5 Celcius. Even our " Alpine region " isn't very cold. In saying that there is really only a few weeks to a month a year where riding is not that nice. Plus we have some wild coastlines and awesome country to explore.

I've always wanted to visit or even try my hand at living in Australia but then I see the shows about just how much of the wild life is constantly trying to kill you and I get a little hesistant.

But in all honesty I would love to make the leap and try living down under for awhile.
