Hip from Australia

[hip]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Matt, but 99% of people know me as Hip.
I live in a place called Wollongong in NSW Australia. It is about 1 hour south of Sydney on the coast.

I've been into cars for many years now, but only recently into bikes when my mate Sam sold me his Honda CD250U as a commuter after talking me out of buying a vespa. I'm VERY glad he did as it has changed my life.

The car I'm currently rebuilding is a 1967 Holden HR Wagon that can be seen here for anyone interested:

My mate Sam and I recently purchased a 72 CB250 that we have started rebuilding/ modifying into a brat tracker.
The build thread can be found here:

Sam on the CB250 yesterday when after we got the tires fitted.

Sam and I have started a little Facebook blog to showcase the progress and provide a bit of daily inspiration.

Since starting the blog a few weeks ago, a lot of our mates are now wanting bikes after having no interest at all!
We are stoked that we can share our passion.

That will be a cool build! Way neater than the Vespa.
