Hi All from South Africa. Hope I can share and learn alot. I finished a 1989 RM250k and hope to restore some more bikes. I'm much in to the late 80's early 90's mx bikes.

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.

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.
