Blue is Best
« on: October 22, 2012, 11:14:46 PM »
Hello, Stretch rides a '98 Blue ex police job. He has owned it for over 10 years now. and has covered the miserly amount of 70 000km in that time. (Never enough time to ride.)

Ah AJ1300, my ST is "Now Blue" BTW the funny thing is the first ST I ever saw was a Silver 1100 with Victorian plates ridden by a WA cop. He happily told me it had a V6 engine. I think he was mistaken.

G'day mate - welcome to the show.

I feel ya pain - at 6'4" myself - I have to make certain allowances and contingencies that most of these folks with duck's disease don't worry about.     :cuss

But I get my own back when I see them tippy-toeing around on gravel with wide eyes, knowing that any second they may be able to check their bank angle sensor and post about their 'tip-over"       :rofl :rofl :rofl

Make sure you get to a few RTEs for all the reasons you reckon you should.     :thumb

BTW - Candy is betterer!     :p                       :13Candy

Cheers, Diesel
