Tell me about the Sydney Xmas boogie, I reckon I'll try and be there for it B|



$50 registration before Dec 1. $27 slots. As much free beer as you can drink every night. Skyvan, Otter, 750XL, Turbine Beaver. Huge swoop pond. Lots of organising. Dec 26-Jan 2.

That's the normal stuff - last year there was a wingsuit boogie as well.

I don't have it yet, that's just a generic photo of one I found. Since you're actually IN the bloody country at the moment, and you seem to know at least something about bikes, do you know how much one should REALLY spend on one?

Sweet!

I highly recommend a Motorcycle Safety Course of some type.

Also, read Proficient Motorcycling. I have a copy that I lend out to new riders all the time. Or atleast I did until it didn't come back the last time. Hopefully that person is passing the book along for me.

Edit to say: Holy Shit scooters are expensive in OZ! What are insurance rates like?

Welllll it looks like I won't be getting the CBR after all, now that I've done some research on how much of a pain in the ass it is to get a legit one that's not a grey market import made 15 years ago and sold as a 2001.

The current candidate is the Kawasaki ZZR250, which can be bought new, or lightly used if I so desire.
