Hi All!

Hi All
New member here from Redland Bay (Brisbane). Just purchased a 95 ST1100 that needs a little TLC. This is my first bike over 1litre and I grabbed the ST to help my wife get comfortable as a pillion (she didn't like it at all on smaller sports bikes).
I'm a Chartered Engineer by trade (Electrical, ITEE) but have been working on cars since I was a young teenager. Gotta love the 80's/90's Alfas.
Been a little while since I've had a bike, but getting into the swing of things again in preparation for the Awesome Andes tour with World on Wheels for my 40th.
Anyway, the new bike should be delivered next week, then a little maintenance, rego and away we go! Looking forward to catching up on the next ride near us.
Regards
Scott

Welcome from the north side of Brissie. SE QLD is one of the busiest areas for RTEs. Sadly I get along to very few of them but many do turn up and would love to meet you.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine.

Stole my line. But anyway, another welcome on in from SA.
The National Rally in August being held in Mackay might be a good long distance break in ride.

Welcome Scott,
Did the same thing, bought a bike (98 ST1100 for $250) that needed TLC, unregistered and neglected for a few years. Spend 18mths rebuilding it, now into my 40,000 klm usage. Great bikes, indestructible.
Cheers,
Hobs
