I shall pencil it in and keep my fingers crossed.

I'm heading out there with a few friends but may not ride the ST this time.  Anyone is welcome, meeting 8am Maccas at Cockburn near Gateways shopping centre. Departing around 815am.

Yorkie,
Do you have some role in this event?
I plan on being there early have a look around and back home.

in past years I have been parking up visiting bikes, this year the Christian Motorcycle group were doing it, I don't think they turned up.
A fellow Ozstoc member, I have no idea who, was placing cards on ST's seats, I place them around the ignition.
I think it was a poor show compared to last couple of years.

Was a great day out nonetheless. Got to see the ctx1300 for the first time. Wasn't as ugly as I thought it would be.

Sorry I missed you Yorkie, got tied up with the kids and trying to keep them entertained in the heat. Will meet up with you on the 26th.

I got the card around my ignition too.

I arrived about 10.00 and left about 11.45. I was the other member placing cards. Only about 4 or 5 but spoke to one 1300 and one 1100 owner neither of whom knew about OsTOC. 1100 owner was after some tupperware so told him you had some Yorkie. Considering the number of bikes there very few STs.
Amazing number of bikes but apart from that very disppointing. There were a lot less stalls and new bikes then I thought there would be.
Still heaps of bikes going up as I was on my way home.
Sat on the CTX1300, what a shame Honda didn't put the development into an upgraded ST1300.
Have a photo of a supercharged Valkyrie which I will post up later.

Noticed a couple of bikes with superchargers/turbos, also checked the CTX1300, not overly impressed.
Spoke to the guys from the Hondashop, had a petition going, Honda want to have only 1 wing dealer in each state, also discussed the ST1300 available in UK and not here, they seem to think our more stringent emission laws make it unviable.

Sorry I missed it.

Look behind the inlet runners to see the supercharger:-


Anna, who gets a mention in a couple of other OzSTOC thread s was there:-


The old and new Indians:-






I just spoke to the owner of the Supercharged Valkyrie and his thoughts (as a previous stall holder) was that the lack of stalls is due to the Festival pricing themselves out of the market.
