Newby needs a bike!!! Brisbane area

[PRITCH39]

Hi all,
I finally got around to joining this forum, I have a couple of bikes but not vintage.
I have been riding for about 25yrs, and love the odd race day but I cant keep up with the young blokes any more so I will put together something of the appropriate age, and go and have some fun.
If any one knows of a cheap project bike or goer for up to $1500 I would be very keen to have a look.
I weigh 110kg so i need at least a 250cc. I am not real fussy on the brand although I do lean towards SUZUKI. I like PE's 

Anyway im glad to be here and hope to meet a lot of you at the track. Im going to Nudgee on Sunday and cd7 next week cant wait.

I live in Kallangur Brisbane North.

Cheers Brian

Hi Brian,
Welcome aboard!  I am only new myself.  I'll keep an eye out for any bikes that pop up but it's good to see you going to CD7 as there are a lot of bikes there that change hands and go home with different owners.  See you there.
Cheers,
Gary

Welcome:I reckon the best place in the world to be starting on pre85 bikes would have to be to attend Classic Dirt 7.             www.vmxmag.com.au
You will find bikes that you never knew where invented   
Keep an eye out for the Cocktail machines.!
cheers

I can't say no more or I might get into trouble for promoting the wrong thing

^^^
they're a dangerous lot Brian.
i'll be at Nudgee on sunday too champ.
the first time i went there as a spectator before i got an old bike,
i was pleasantly gobsmacked as i watched the first race take off!
it was the pre~75 125 class.
looking along the start line, i saw all these beards with smiles coming from under thier helmets.
the bikes rattled worse than a tin can full of bearings in a teenage boys hip pocket
and when they took off i remember thinking i could walk quicker than that.
it's a great place to grow old thats for sure!
i'm bike #789, feel free to say g'day.
cheers!
Mick.
