I have been lurking about for a while and then a few months ago I thought it best to cough up my money to become a member - to help your economy out. :)

Now I thought it was about time that I spoke up.
It is not the Aussie way to just slip in the back door and not say G'day.

I ride an 07 RT with a few farkles - BMR Co-pilot Shelf, Zumo 550 GPS, Autocom, Skene Photon Blasters and P3 lights. With a few more in the wind.

We have some great roads to ride especially in south eastern Australia, not to mention heaps of off-road riding, albeit that I have "outgrown" that stuff - or is it just age?

Anyway, I enjoy your forum and hope to be able to contribute my 2 cents worth from time to time.

Welcome Phillip. My wife and I would like to ride your way some day. We've just got to get our boys a bit older yet before we leave them alone for such a long period of time. Hope you continue to enjoy the Forum, and post a picture or two.

G'day, Phillip - welcome here.

wow, when you get your patch and stickers, you can just tell everyone that the "A" in BMW MOA stands for Australia!

thank you for your help with our economy...

hope to meet you someday.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the welcome.

It is good to be onboard, but as a foreigner I will try not to impose myself on your forum, but contribute if I feel I have something to offer.

Around Melbourne, Victoria, we certainly have a number of great rides including:
The Black Spur and Reefton Spur, both of which are just N E of Melbourne
and
The Great Ocean Road which is S W of Melbourne

By anyone's standards these are world class motorcycle roads.

My photos never seem to be up to scratch for posting - but I am working on it.:)

And yes I have received the patch and stickers... and I am more than happy to display the along side my BMWMCCVic and Pashnit stickers. Not that I am really big on those things - being discreet can still convey the message to those that have an interest.

Now, some people do go over the top in the sticker department ... I came across this photo a while back (definitely not my bike and unfortunately it had to be an Oz biker)

Regards

Welcome, what language do you speak down under? :rofl

Welcome, what language do you speak down under? :rofl

:dance

We come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
I said "do you speak my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.

We come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
I said to the man "are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"

Livin' in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover.
:dance
