Title: Introduction - New Member
Post by: Chris J on October 10, 2019, 07:47:18 PM: :blk13

Greetings all, just joined, my ride is a Black 2010 ST1300, just bought recently with 25k on the clock and mint, I was very lucky, had been looking for the right one for a year. My other ride is an Indian Scout which is great for close short rides and has a cruiser style all of its own. Completed the Long Ride 2019 to Darwin recently and decided a larger long-range tourer would be the go for future long-range runs so started searching. The seller of my bike wanted a quick sale due to leaving the country so I got a great deal.
I hail out of Adelaide but travel a lot due to being in the ADF, I have ridden the current ST between Melbourne and Adelaide 3 times and found it fantastic and the screen works great :)

Bikes I have owned over the years;
1962 Vespa 160GS
BSA Bantam
1977 Yamaha YZ125/250
1978 Yamaha DT100
1982 Suzuki GSX750
1988 BMW K100
1998 Yamaha YZF-RI
2003 Yamaha YZFR1
2006 Yamaha YZF-R1
2018 Indian Scout
2010 Honda ST13oo

Post by: Kev Murphy on October 10, 2019, 08:08:16 PM: Quite a few members in the Adelaide area, I am sure they will contact you soon.
A good place to meet and greet is at the RTE (Ride To Eat) venues, held regularly.

Post by: Kev Murphy on October 10, 2019, 08:17:34 PM: There's a RTE being organised for the 19th, Chris, A week away ... not a long run, just up to Morgan. Meet some of the other members.

Details here. http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13321.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13321.0)

This particular one is a BYO BBQ, not quite the usual thing, as we usually hit a pub or restaurant for a meal.

You asked a question about ST1300 and towing a trailer on Facebook, got some good answers, you'll get a lot more here: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?board=84.0. (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?board=84.0.) If what you want isn't covered already, just ask.

And if you're not too busy in five weeks, there's always this: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13147.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13147.0)

Finally (for now), black ST1300 are the sexiest.

Post by: Biggles on October 12, 2019, 10:48:41 AM: Welcome. After owning that series of Yamaha YZF-R1s you'll soon have a series of ST1300s. I'm on my third and will get another when I'm ready to move all the farkles across yet again.
