As per request from Brock (OzSTOC Admin)
My introduction:
Rode a roadtrail bike through the city for a number of years, until I got enough experience to get a full bike license, got married and promptly was asked to give the bike a miss. Stayed happily married for 25 years when the mrs said "you should get a bike, seeing how you miss it so much". Two weeks later riding my new (for me) ST1100 up from Albany back to my hometown.
no regrets. Seriously considering a road trip towards Carnarvon later this year.
