Welcome, Dave!

All the '86s were cosmetically challenged, BTW.            :bomb:         :biggrin:

Welcome! I like Australians, I married one. I Even like the bottom of the oil pan Vegemite stuff. but all can be forgiven. If I can tolerate Klavdy, Vegemite is easy....

I always wanted ride triplets....Does that count? I loved the old stories my Dad told of his days when he owned a Kawasaki triple. One of them was when I told him I wanted to go fast on his motorcycle (age 5 or so). He used bungee cords to secure me in front of him. After a few runs up and down the block he opened it up and did a wheelie down the block. Apparently, at the end I said I wanted to go fast, BUT NOT that FAST! My first Koookalooo moment.

Gooday, how are you Dave and welcome, I used to live in Melbourne but now in Tassie. I also have an 86 which is a little tired looking but it goes really nice. Enjoy the forum, there is plenty of info and help here, if ever you are in Tassie be sure and look me up.
