Hey
« on: April 24, 2022, 08:40:46 PM »
I had the absolute pleasure last week of riding my newly acquired 02 1300 back from NSW to Qld via the longest route we could find.
As you'd expect for a 20 year old there are some issues to address like fork seals, steering head bearings and brake pads (might as well do the wheel bearings too)
It's nice to find a good old fashioned forum rather than a social media group

G'day The Dave, congrats on the new ST and welcome to the forum :hatwave

We have a QLD RTE on Sunday going to the Pitstop Cafe on Mount Mee:
http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=14670.0

You are more than welcome to join us :runyay

Note: RTE = Ride To Eat. A location for everyone to ride to for a bite to eat and a catch up.
                   People make their own way there and home. Although some people may join others for the ride there or back.

Again welcome to the forum and I'm sure we'll catch up sometime.


Cheers
Shiney

Another Dave!!  What is it about STs and Davids!?
Great to see another ST1300 brought home to Godzone.  Quite a following up here, as you'll notice.  And yes, the Forum is very friendly and helpful.  If you seek chaos, there is an STOwners page on Farcebook.
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. Adam Piggott
