Hello everyone...

Ken from Maryborough Q.

I have a EB II multi point and a newly aquired AU I. I also or more so ride a Suzuki SV 650 S (yellow).
I was going to get rid of the EB, but now I am thinking of fixing the few things that it has wrong and keeping it.

Might see you around sometime.

Hiya Jesus, and welcome to the forum

Check out the show and shine section for some pics of our homegrown Ford product.

How'd you get a Focus to do an 11 sec pass?

Welcome, I'm a fellow cobra owner, only a 99'though. Should get some pictures up of both your rides, would be cool to see.

Actually the first reply was a half dig and I made my point to ensure no one else did.

Jesus is not Australian and Americans by and large do not really grasp the Australian sense of humour. In the same way many Australians do not understand yank culture. It was his first post and I wnated to make sure that he did not get offended by accident.

I did not start out learned, I picked it up along the way by taking notice. I hope you do the same, you never know one day you might be in a foreign country and it could save you from a lot of stress.

Hi Flappist
just thought i would go along with your sense of humour and would just like to love your signature. And notice you added an "s" to Revelation so as not to misquote the "Holy Bible". sorry folks the real "Holy Bible" not the "holy bible" which is found HERE

:

PS check out the "For Sale" section. "My Minister of Finance" wants a ute bad.

NeWayz will be continuing to post all over the shop. And as yet haven't had a chance to thouroughly check out the OzE Cruizers section.

(But I tell you what that BenJ has some cool ideas.)
