Hello Oztoc members from Toowoomba area
« on: November 03, 2013, 09:18:26 PM »
Hi guys &  girl's. Really nice site you have here.

I've got a 2006 ST that bought 2nd handing a few years back.  It had been treated pretty badly,  had chips down the side from a slow drop,  paint overspray all over it, was dirty and the owner was a grub.  Instead of walking away I took pity on the poor girl and rescued her. She came home with me and I polished her up and weve been best friends eversince.

She still bears the physical scars of her past but beneath the rough exterior lies an exceptional motorbike.The ST is a faithful steed if there ever was one.

 I don't get her out as much as I'd like to but we did a great trip up to Darwin and back in July. I filmed a lot of it with a GoPro and I'll post a few vids on YouTube when I work it out.

I look forward to meeting some of you soon in here, and also out there.

Welcome Besty, so what we need now are pics (the bike, not you necessarily) and ride plans etc. and you should start planning for your first ride out with the rest of the mob!

Cheers mate and I hope you have a truly superb time along with all the rest of the reprobates!

I hope this works. I just uploaded my first youtube vid. Wahoo!  Link below.

I'm entering the Bruce hwy from the Dagular hwy. On the way to Rocky and then Longreach and Darwin.
