Hi All
@tj189 advised to paste my intro to the thread so I will blame him if it's not the right spot hahaha
Let me take the opportunity (that I finally started using this awesome forum) and introduce myself.
I am originally from Poland. from a city called Lodz (Łódź is the correct Polish spelling and no-one in Oz knows how to pronounce or spell that correctly
). We moved across to Oz in 2006, with wife and two kids. I have been riding motorcycles since I turned 16 (I will turn 45 in December 2022). btw, did anyone hear about Simson SR50 in the forum? I was enjoying my long trips across Europe, then Australia, but had never been registering them with any association, group etc. up until not long ago.
Roughly 2 years back, while looking for some random, but critically important, motorcycle related things, I stumbled upon IBA which I had never heard of before. I really enjoyed the idea of my rides being certified by a big international organisation, so I decided to give it a go ..
Fast forward to today, I have already got several of my rides certified with IBA. My major IBA related achievements would be the Valentine’s Day Ride done in Tassie earlier this year (one zillion turns, two zillion animals watching me along the way), Piston Diversity Award achieved despite the very annoying Covid restrictions, or my little Mile Eater Silver award.
I am currently based in Koolewong NSW, a tiny suburb near Gosford NSW (Central Coast) and am a happy owner of a 2019 H-D Ultra Limited aka Daphne Blake.
