Thank you :love: to all of those who helped with getting me on the road .

edit: oh and done around 160kms on the bike so far , it goes in for its first service to a few days .

Good for you, mate. :)
We're glad everything is working out fine.

<laughs> fine i dont know about fine , you know how much my arse hurt that first week :lol:

From your previous thread:


I was wondering if someone had some advice for a bike in Australia (South east QLD) for a bloke who is around 6 foot 7 inches tall around 130kgs and looking to ride.

Oh budget is around 600 but cant afford to go over that by to much or the partner will beat me with the bike.

You're 6'7" 130kgs and your partner will beat you with the bike??? Yowzer!!!

haha i am not allowed to fight back, i just have to sit there and take it :notamused:

Good on you. Is the weather as comparatively cooler up there in Brisbane as it is down here in Victoria?

Hi mate ,

last few days has been between 27 and 34 C so no cool is not the word I would use for it , but at least it isn't 40 ....yet

Good Luck ! Keep the wheels rolling- 40 here, but fahrenheit, not centigrade

I started biking to work about 3 years ago and love it. Twenty five miles round trip, now I DREAD taking public trans. Congratulations wear out as many tires as you can!
