Hi from Central West NSW
« on: May 27, 2018, 08:33:12 PM »
:dred11
Hi all, I'm Richard (RickSTer) from Mudgee NSW Australia.
I'm a proud owner and rider of a 1996 Burgundy ST100 similar to the emoticon above.
I did a ride on the weekend, and met up with ST Club member Joso.
He put me on to this group, which I'm sure will be of great help.
My little gem was purchased by me back in February this year, with 48900 km on the clock as a swap for my 2001 BMW F650GS Dual purpose.
I was suffering withdrawals from the lack of immediate quick power, as I'm not a small build.
I'm loving the feel of the Honda so far, and look forward to getting out and about a bit more with it.

PS. Excuse the mess in the shed in the pics

Nice looking burgundy ST there.  Plenty of comfort and power to handle a few rider kgs.  And that's low kms for an ST1100!  Be sure to build up a decent odo number.

I'm back. After a 4 year stint on a Yamaha XVS1300 Cruiser, I've come back to the fold with a 2003 ST1300.
Damn, I've missed the comfort and power of these machines.
I'm sure I'll be in touch some of you within the forums with repairs and mods etc.
