New member having a mid life crisis

First topic message reminder :

G'Day just found the NSW Riders Forum through Samsico on ASB
and had to join up.

I live near Penrith NSW and have been living here since 1971 it is a great area to ride with the Blue mountains just up the road and the Putty road not to far away.

I have a 1989/90 GSXR 1100 that is basically stock and i intend to keep it that way.
I plan to restore her to factory condition and just enjoy riding
I work in the Security Industry as an electronic security installer and have done so for about 16 years
I bought the GSXR as part of a mid life crisis acording to the missus but i just wanted to get back on the road on a bike that i have liked since it came out.

My first wife didnt want me getting a GSXR back then because our daughter was to young and she could still remember the trips to the hospital after i parted company with my water bottle (GT 750K)
So i got away from her and finally got my bike now the first wife thinks it is great that i am riding again GO FIGURE.

So far i am really enjoying my mid life crisi and would recomend it to all

Thanks mate another penrith rider
She has a few battle scars on the LHS but it will be an easy fix

<_Real men ride naked_> could be a little cold in winter

Welcome Crisis, I love the bike. Had one ages ago & loved every minute of it..

Do you have the manual that's supposed to be under the seat??? If not I think I've still got mine! I knew I'd find someone who could use it if I held on to it for 20 years.

I'll see if I can dig it up. Hope to see you out there soon.

oohh love the gixxa! would I dare say a classic now??

welcome to the site. I cant wait to get to my midlife crisis, I just know its going to be crazy!

And dont worry most girls I meet love the thought of bikes and the fact I ride, untill they are my girlfriend, then all of a sudden they hate it....

hahahaha, well thats a hard decision to make!

You boys have had the wrong kind of women in your life

Welcome. I've actually passed my mid-life crisis, but I'm not a returning rider so I guess it doesn't count.
