New Pommie with an ST
« on: October 01, 2012, 07:05:15 PM »
 :13Candy

After leaving the UK 19 months ago and migrating to Sydney I finally get my hands on a 2008 ST1300 with only 18000 km's on the clock.

Having been a Motorcycle Cop in Manchester, UK prior to moving to Sydney and previously owning an ex-Leicestershire Constabulary Police training ST1300 I couldn't wait to make the big move once settled in Sydney.

Unfortunately due to the stability issues of the Honda's in the UK most Police Forces moved onto either BMw Rt1200's or FJR's.

Any other members based around the Dural/Cherrybrook areas of Sydney?

Hey there Natman - hope you're punchin out a few miles on the BeaST. Looks like a pretty sweet ride.

I've seen footage of the narrow, car-filled, sometimes cobblestone Manchester streets - and if you've ridden a bike there (especially in anger).......        :-++ :-++ :-++

Nice to have you aboard.

Looks like there's a few chaps around you who could be talked in to a RTE. Peter (Blueheeler55) knows some pretty good roads and chow houses down that way.

Anyway - enjoy your time here.

Cheers, Diesel
