Title: Hello and thanks for letting me in.
Post by: Calsonic on May 11, 2019, 12:00:21 AM

Hello everyone,

New member here. My name is Geoff and I’m from Brisbane. I have not yet purchased my bike. It’s been 30 years since I last owned a bike. Life and family took over, but now it’s my time again. After loads of research and knowing that I wanted comfort in my travels, all my research led me to the ST1100 as the bike I could afford that ticked all the boxes.

So here I am. Still a few months away from the actual purchase but now I know what I want, I will continue to read and research everything I can on this beautiful machine. I look forward to hitting the road soon and joining some of the great rides I have seen on this page.

Cheers

Geoff

Welcome from another Brissie OzStocer.  I had an ex-Police ST1100 and loved it.  There are always plenty of them for sale around the country.  Don't be afraid to ask one of us to go with you for an inspection, or ask a member in another State to check one out for you.  I flew to Victoria to pick up my latest ST.

Welcome Geoff. (Also in Brisbane)

Get along to a RTE (Ride To Eat) even before you get a bike and meet the crew, and get done more pointers. 

Great bunch of people here.

I haven't had a bike for over 3.5 years and still hang out here for the great mateship.

Enjoy the search and acquisition.

I noticed this nothing there's a ST1100 advertised here with good extras (farkles) for $4,000.

I do recommend ABS models, having had both non and ABS bikes and the ABS works really well in the wet.

Welcome Calsonic,

I have just purchased my first 2003 ST1100 ex WA Police and with the help of all the guys and gals of the forum I am going through the process of making sure the cycle is as good as it can be,

So if I can be of any help, don't hesitate to yell for help.

Regards,
