    Hi, New to the forum!

    Hi PSB

    My Name is Tom and i am 25 and have just purchased my first bike, a 1999 Yamaha Lanza DT230. It was a little bit rough when i purchased it as the previous owner lived near the ocean and the salt had got to the paint a bit in some spots but slowly i am fixing her up getting her ready to be ridden again.

    Here is a pic of her when i got her home:


    I am currently on my learners and am doing lessons with Nenad, from Advantage motorcycle rider training who is a really top bloke! and has been giving me heaps of helpful tips. So all going well i should have my mototcycle license some time next month!

    Hope to meet some of you guys when i get my license, on some rides hopefully both on and off road!

    Cheers

    Tom

    Welcome along Tom, post up in Stoney's leaner newbie rides and you'll be able to get some free lessons through the group rides!

    Only catch is you'll have to post up that you need an R-E shadow and also do the right thing by buying dinner/beer/fuel for your shadow and im sure they'll be happy to help!

    Welcome Tom, and thanks for the kind words. You are a great student, keep up the good work!

    PS - Those Yamaha DT230s are great bikes. When I was looking for a dirt bike I wanted one but couldn't find one for sale anywhere. Half your luck finding one - and a good one to boot.

    Cheers Mate! Been playing with fuel level on the carb so hopefully it will be running a little cleaner on the spark plug now!

    Welcome along Tom.

    If you're gonna be requesting shadows it may be an idea to put your suburb in your location rather than "Perth" to make things easier.

    ENjoy your time on two wheels mate.

    Yeh Eric, im Tom from perth-wrx. You Eric from perth-wrx hey. You had the green gc8?

    When i get my license im going to go for a ride with Tim, but if you are who i think you are it would be good to catch up.


    DrShan, I havent been off road yet on her but i am really excited about starting to get into it once i get my license.

    Seb, i will change my location to my subrub, should make things a bit easier.

    Cheers guys you all seem like a friendly bunch.

    Regards

    Tom
