Hi. Don & Kathy from Adelaide Here.

Signed up to the website earlier this month and this just our little intro. We have owned to ST’s over the last seven years. Our first was a 2001 ST1100 and we had such a great run from it we upgraded to a 2009 about six months back and we just love the new bike.                        I started riding at age 10 around the farm and continue with all sorts of bikes till my late twenty’s I did my thing with the kids for many years and slowly we got them into riding on dirt bikes together, when they got into their teens and Dad wasn’t cool any more I got back into road bikes. My preferred bike has always been Honda, I have owned BSA Triumphs three Honda 750’s a Kawasaki 900 and a fantastic early GL 1000LTD Gold Wing and the two ST’s. Kathy and I get away as much as we can on weekend rides interstate and all over this great state but we are looking forward to meeting some Fellow ST riders so.. If the SA members are doing any weekend rides we would love to hear from them. We have pencilled in the June York Peninsular ride so hopefully we will see you SA rider then.
Worst ride:  mmmmmmm…………. never had one.
Best ride: My Daughter finished her Royal Australian Navy marine technical course at HMAS Cerberus and purchased her first road bike ( A Honda Of Course) and rode back to Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road for a few days yep it’s the stuff memories are made of.
Thanks guys love the Web Forum and are looking forward to meeting with you soon.
Regards

Hi Don & Kathy from another newly joined adelaide member.

I am always rounding up my son and mates for a ride to NIP (Nowhere In Particular). Normally a spur of the moment thing to get out of mowing the lawn etc.  I will drop you a line next time cheers

Good to see another intelligent biker (must be- you're a Honda lover)!

Also great to see you're perpetuating the age demographic.  The only children in here that I'm aware of are Streak and Teela.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
