Spotted at Hall markets this morning Sunday 2nd March about 11.30am.
A very immaculate ST1100 with a distinctive rear pillion rest.

Card left in tank refill lid.


A very trusting soul, leaving his nice jacket and helmet protecting the bike.

Another red 1100 in Peterborough just after Midday today.

Handed a card over to the owner who was from the Broken Hill Ulysses club. He never new the club existed and there's quite a few STs in Broken Hill.

Just after we stopped a few more bikes turned, new red Goldwing, a Trophy and an FJR and older beemer (that's all I can remember).
Amusing when you realise the ST rider was waiting for the rest to arrive..........lol. Only a few stopped the rest went to Orroroo for lunch.

A white ex police bike (I think) on the Bruce highway going past gateway motor way entrance.

Still had a coiled electrical lead going to rear of bike which looked like it was used for he blue light or may now be being used as a coms lead.

Saw a white  1100 today at Willunga. Had a chat with the owner, a nice guy named Mike. He had not heard of the club and thought there were not many 1100s around, so I told him about the  web site and about the many members here in S A and elsewhere, we may get a new member maybe. I hope you all had a good time at the annual rally! Mike   :popcorn

Spotted - blue ST1300 and trailer at Port Campbell refuelling with 2 white ST1100's

I waved as Gavo and Co pulled out of the Servo, but I'd say they didn't see me as I was on foot heading to the pub for dinner.

What's the collective noun for a group of STs?  A burble, perhaps a whistle.  Maybe a clutter.

My wife has just bought me the Australia Motorcycle Atlas, 200 Top Rides.

So who were the six riders on four red ST1300s and two dark ST1100s who had their picture taken on top of Wivenhoe Dam - Ride number 7.  The book was first published in 2003, but last updated in 2012, so maybe some OzSTOC members will remember the ride.
At my age you realise something very important, then ten minutes later you've forgotten it.
