Welcome aboard Conewacker (that name might have a different meaning here in Oz ::)) There's quite a few 'Seth Efricans' on this forum so you won't feel like a fish out of water. Plenty of Suzuki punters too.

Sorry C-W....In the Aussie vernacular a cone relates to the little gizmo on the end of a bong used to smoke pot, a conehead being a pot smoker :). I'm sorry I mentioned it now ::)
Welcome to the forum anyway mate and good luck to your rugby boyos against the Wallabies on Saturday.

A cone is SA is a KTM. So called because KTM orange isn't too different from the orange of road cones.

Thanks Tim....you've gotta love the variances within the English language between ccountries! Now I understand exactly what a conewacker is!

Aha!! It might be a bit premature Mark but, unofficially, I have a job in Brissie! Pending immigration procedures. Should be over in Sydney within a few weeks to kick things off.

I was keeping under my hat until it was official but WTF! Interestings things going to happening in Sydney within a year or two too.
