Hi from Perth WA

Post by slingshot69 »

Hi All
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

I am Daz and I live in Perth WA, been here 4 years after leaving sunny Oldham Manchester.
Been on a lurker on the forum's for a while but only just managed to find a bike, I bought a 1999 CRM250AR with Mugen kit on the weekend, its done 10000km's since new by 1 owner, looks very impressive. I don't pick it up until next weekend so looking forward to my first blast.

Anyway that's enough rabbling on, great site and great to read so much, plenty of knowledge on here so I maybe picking some brains :-)

Cheers and take care, Daz

Hi Daz,Best of luck with your new wheels.
Its good to have contact with people, from far away lands.
Is there much in the way of secondhand spares out there, for all the CRM models ?
Lets just get out there, and trail it.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the welcomes, I have been reading issues etc, I am hoping not to have to many LOL

I was born at Oldham hospital, lived in Royton for 20 od years then went to Shaw and then onto Milnrow before I left. Went to North Chadderton School if anyone else did :-)

As for parts, not very many here at all but that is like that for most bikes, I have nearlly finished my RD350LC and all parts had to be shipped from the UK. You really realise how far away you are when it comes to buying/repairing bikes.

Thanks again everyone, Daz
