Introducing me and my Steed
« on: October 29, 2017, 10:27:48 AM »
Hi all, purchased myself a 2008 red ST1300 a few months ago.  Has a few K's on the clock (180,000) and did a lot of touring with the previous owner.  Have done a lot of cleaning and servicing to get the bike to my liking.  I am really enjoying the comfort and handling, what a great bike, looking forward to some touring starting with the Snowy Ride next weekend.  :dred11

hey mcattz... welcome to OzSTOC from Tropical North Qld... if you can find the time next year (10-12 Aug 2018) and would like to stretch your Steed's legs a little more, then start planning and get ready for OzSTOC's Mackay NatRally 2018... Cheers, John & Kate.
