On Saturday  28th during the afternoon I chatted to an ST owner on the wall of the Hume Dam after I spotted he and some mates ride in and park. They were with the Ulysses group. One of the Ozstoc members will hear about that chat.
And. I have never seen as many bikes and trikes on a weekend as I did on the past weekend between Gundagai and Wangaratta. They were everywhere.

Agree with that last comment ppopeye .... and have seen at least a dozen "wings" heading East today from Ceduna.
Saw a dark red 1100 twice yesterday in Mt Gambier (I am pretty sure it was there). Gave him a wave but nothing back.

Not an ST then.  Probably a Beemer look-alike.  There are a few around.  Same shape fairing, but ugly headlights.

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

Carrol and I just returned from our 5 day trip to NZ.

On the second day driving out of Auckland along the highway we spotted a :blu13 heading the opposite direction to us :eek
Unfortunately we were some distance away from the next turn off so I was unable to chase the rider down with a card :||||

If it wasn't one of our NZ members hopefully they'll be able to locate the rider and give them a card :thumbsup

White ST1100 parked by the road in Mulumbimby NSW yesterday (Monday) afternoon.
I suspect its rider is already a member IIRC.

I often wave to you lot out on the highway.  It takes more endurance than I'll ever have again to push those bikes along the road.
A thumbs-up as I pass is given to say, "You're a legend!  Keep safe.  I hope you get where you want to go."

On the way down the mountain from Cafe Boombana yesterday following Leo, DavidP + the misses, Carol and Shiney, spotted a ST1300 heading up the mountain. We all waved and got a wave in return.
Cheers,
Gary

Spotted an ST1300 outside Honda dealer in Ringwood. Chatted to a paramedic who rides bikes in the city for work. What a life. Chatted about the bike for sale and about Ruby. Gave him an Ozstoc card.

I'd nearly forgotten this one:
Last Friday, 24th, approaching the Hamilton Rd lights northbound on Gympie Rd, I pulled up next to a silver ST1300 and had time to give him a bit of cheek before the lights changed.

Travelling to a wedding in the cage saw a white ST1300 with no panniers in St Georges Rd travelling north across Moreland Road in Brunswick, Victoria. No chance to chat.

Black ST1300 passed by me while I was walking along George St, Brisbane City this morning at about 06:15.
I gave a wave but I don't think I was seen.

Red St13 seen in Townsville at Pioneer day.

Left card but then from a distance saw rider ride away with a possible OzSToc shirt on.

Not sure who it was though.
