The unlurking

     G'day forum. For some time now I have peeped through the dusty shed window of the Dyna forum ( and a couple of cracks and keyholes elsewhere ) note pad and hand-whittled pencil-stub at the ready, gleaning the collective wisdom therein. It dawned on me that this sort of window peeping weirdness could get out of hand, seriously. It starts with sheds, cracks, keyholes and before you know it you are sobbing in despair mumbling something about the horrors of public toilet glory-holes as perturbed passers by silently cross themselves while dialing the police. So, to spare myself this hellish spiral of shame I thought I had better come in and say hello.

    I have always had motorcycles, any make, any model it never mattered. I never really gave a 'taint scorching fart what it was, for as long as it had two wheels, it possessed that intangible awesome that is motorcycle. This has greatly enriched the last 28 years of my life. Recently I had opportunity to swap my 1200gs for an 09 street-bob, silver....... I wasn't sure about the colour initially but I have to say that it has grown on me, kind of, well, pewterful you might say. I would insert a picture here, but I am finding that any picture I have attempted to post ends up rotated at 90 degrees or so flaming huge as to be annoying. Perhaps it's to do with the fact I'm using my phone to post, dunno. The bike has Vance and Hines bits, namely big radius 2/2, air cleaner ( both black which looks good, I hate chrome ) tuner to make it run now that airflow has been messed with and various other bits and pieces. I like it. 

    Anyway people, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you all who have contributed a heap of useful info and experience, half of what I crap on about will verge on the ridiculous, but I do hope that I can contribute in some worthwhile way.

     Thank you for the welcomes, here it is, sorry about the picture quality ( ive found it helps if you just pretend you are viewing it in an inebriated haze having accidentally staggered into the shed looking for somewhere to have a leak ) 

    Im sure ill get the hang of this Internet thing eventually, bear with me.

    No dictionary mate, I just figured that seeing as I can contribute absolutely jack on a technically helpful level, my inane drivel may as well be entertaining. Kind of like punching a street-mime in the face, doesn't really enrich society as a whole, but sure as hell puts a smile on our dial and temporarily takes our minds off the soul-rending anguish that surrounds us.... Like election coverage, bledisloe cup games and Kyle sandilands enabling pubescent mop-heads to squawk into microphones, a malevolent karaoke-attack guaranteed to result in mass suicide and despair...
