 Now that is a great idea I would be in for that. Not only would it be an opportunity for to meet up with you all, the chance to learn some more about the ST is too good to pass up.
And it also means that I get to go for a  little holiday and a nice long ride as well,
So many nice things to look forward too.
 I think that I had better go and have a little lie down.
 Please keep us all posted .

 Cheers

 Good idea Brock,  :-++
   I have a Carbtune set up if any of the ST1100 riders want to balance their carbs.  :thumb

 OK. I use it to do the 6 carbs on the Valk.
    Haven't done an ST, but as long as we have a manual we should be right.  :whistle
    All we need now is a Date.   :think1

It will be good to have. I want to wire up my lights using the existing police switches? As long as the date suits. >:()

I am not sure but when I see your bike I should be able to follow your setup.

My lights are hot wired to high beam at the moment, I havent got around to wiring in a switch, Its switch ready but.

There is a headlight plug available at Repco that makes the wiring pretty easy ( I dont like splicing into wires if I dont have to)

Disregard the Haynes manual approach of try to match the right side carbs first, then match the pair to the left hand side carbs.  In actual fact the left rear carb is the base carb you cannot change, and all the other 3 are independently adjusted to it.  Carbtune makes it a cinch.  A torch, long enough flat head screwdriver (I find a philips head one pushes on the adjusting screw too much) and it will all be done (well, after some bodywork is removed but leave that until you check that any adjustment is needed!)

As the venues at Daves, he will come up with some dates that suit him, and the the best day for all can be chosen.

Brock,

As you know, I'm semi-retired at the moment so any time/date will suit me (apart from Mondays and Tuesdays, which I don't really think anyone was contemplating anyway). :p

I have NO IDEA how to start a poll so I'll leave it to you Brock (seeing as you appear to know how to manipulate things [ONENUT] on here). :well

Seeing as space is limited at my place, I'm looking round to see if someone central can offer something better............ I'll keep you posted. :think1

He could start taking this personally (I hope so, anyway)    :popcorn

Call me what you wish, I've got broad shoulders. :butt

While you're all picking on me you're leaving some other poor bugger alone. :nahnah

On the subject of names; I know we have them on our shirts but I was wondering if anyone has considered having name patches for our jackets?

I'm asking because when WA had its last RTE, the weather was a bit chilly and, I think, all of us kept our jackets on and seeing as there were a couple of new faces there, it got a bit confusing at times (for me anyway). :think1

In the Blue Knights, we have had name patches made up which are sewn onto our vests. They only cost something like $10. I'm sure they could be done in any colours required.

What are your thoughts on it?

Yes the patches can be made, the girls in my Embriodry room create them from time to time, I will see how much work goes into making thm and cost.

 Hi everyone, and ex copper (bob), this is starting to sound like a plan,
At the moment I am open to any and all suggestions , but I will need some info and feedback as I dont know either the proposed timing and or the venue.
Because of the distances involved for me I would probably give the trailer its maden run, (that is of course not counting its initial excursion around the block), and then it could turn into at least a couple of nights lay over so I would need someplace to doss down.
So I am open to any and all suggestions.
Cheers to all.
