Yes, I saw that in the online news, but didn't realise it was an ST1300!  The photo I saw was taken from a distance in the dark and I didn't look very closely to identify the bike.  It happened at the corner of Nathan and Saul Streets, and looks as if he failed to take a slight bend in the road and wrapped the bike around a power pole.  Very sad indeed.

I watched the news bulletin and there’s no doubt it was a candy red ST13 .....I’ve posted here to see if it was one of our members and to offer my condolences to those who may have known him.
Cheers Brian
