Hi from Dubai
« on: April 11, 2020, 12:06:09 AM »
Hi All

I live in Dubai and have two ST1100AY's (ex-police) , one is now almost completely in parts being rebuild from the ground up.

Hopefully I will be moving to Brisbane later this year (would have been sooner but Covid got in the way).

Thankyou for letting me in !

Hi stevecharles and welcome to OzSTOC from South Australia   :hatwave     You will find lots of friends and information on the forum, and perhaps we'll meet up at an RTE once you've moved to the Land of OZ and this bloody virus is back in the box.

My bikes are still in Dubai and my plan is to bring the restored one to Australia but in boxes. When I get there I'll aim to pick up a similar model. ST1100 and strip it down and replace with the restored components. I have been looking at import procedures and am expecting to have to ditch the frame

You'll find there is a fair number of Ozstoc members here in Brisbane.  There's even a few who still ride Honda STs!
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
