New game folks...


Post a pic of your ST in front of one of those funky/austentacious letterboxes that we all see on our travels and post it here. Bike MUST be in pic. Don't forget to name the town/location/state for us.


I'll kick off...


5 clicks West of Kilcoy, Qld....

Pete,
I posted that one on 23 March, 2013. It's one of the best mail boxes I have ever seen.
It's certainly worth stopping to snap a pic.

We went past that on our way to Perth in Dec 2004. It was a car trip so I only took a pic of the letterbox.

This one made me do a uey on the way to Wooli:

I saw a great one on the way to the Halls Gap RTE,  but wasn't able to get photos. Knowing Bødo's love of such things, gave him direction to get back there, but he chose another route home. I'll have to go back and get that & more I found on the Halls Gap RTE

Just for fun, who can pick 10 mods in that photo of my ST?
Could be a major hijack, but that's what we do second best.    :grin

(I can see 11, but one is invisible)

Screen (may be) highway pegs, backrest, armrest, GPS, spotlights, tank cover, seat cover, fish eye mirror, farkle switches on handlebars.

That's 10 of 11  maybe

Good try.  But...  the armrests are a factory feature of that Honda topbox and so is the backrest.  The "farkle switches" you can see is probably the over-ride of the spotlights.

Well spotted on the bar risers.  That actually adds one that I missed!
