Hi!I'm OzyThomo at "down under." I'm just getting into motorbikes and came across this forum and decided to join and learn as much as I can about the joys and traps of biking. I may even have info to share that I've learn along the way.
Are there any other ozies on here?

There is the Mostly Harmless MC- The H2G2 Motorcycle Club at A724312 which I think is still active, and we have a <./>ThePost column

There are quite a few people about from Oz, like Ivan, Hel2, Feisor, fyc, Frenchbean to name but those who immediately come to mind.
I'm not sure there is an Australian researcher group, though.

There you have it, lots to read and find out.
