I'm a Aussie chic (Australian lol, actually South Australian, about 500kms from where the Mad Max movies were made lol) I've been riding approx 6yrs. 1st road bike was a NSR150 Repsol lol, geez looks like a scooter compared 2 the 750 03 cruiser I ride now lol!!! Love my bikes, had a 750 Virago b4 that and also rode Husbands GTR1000 Kawasaki, he now has a Yamaha FJR1300, bit 2 heavy 4 me, but I did take it 4 a spin :) Love the cruisers, been spending up on accessories and still have a mile long list of things 2 buy, love this site, Aust has stuff all and takes forever 2 get anything sent and then usually has 2 b sent back, cause it's for the wrong model, wrong bike brand or just gets lost in the mail.  I can actually get things from America in half the bloody time with less hassel......go figure!!!!  The member reviews have been ever so helpful :) Would love a Harley Fatboy, but sadly can't afford $32,000 AU for one, I have test road one tho, it was an 09, loved it, however the Shadow feels similar 2 ride minis the power of course, so been dressing up the Shadow instead :) My Husband and ride as often as we can, no kids as yet, so nothing stopping us from hopping on the bikes and nicking off, except for the animals.
