Hello good people.

After a few years on all fours I have returned to two.

I bought a bike for commuting as the traffic from home to work is horrendous. I test drove my ST1300 and it was the best ride I'd had, ever. I now say to people, the best part about going to work is ... going to work. Haha.

I live in the western suburbs of Brisbane, work on the north side.

I'm looking forward to going on a group ride and having a chat.

My bike is an '08 Silver 1300. No mods ... yet.

Bernard.

Greetings Bernard,

Welcome to OzSTOC, the guys ( and Girls) know a thing or two about the bike and various mods, and arent afraid to pass on their hard earned knowledge.

Welcome to OzSTOC Bernard.

Hopefully you can make it to the RTE (Ride To Eat) at the Dayboro bakery at 11:00 am on the 11th Feb.

Hi SlowRider and welcome to OzSTOC from SA.

There's a pretty good chance that we'll meet up some time.

G'day Bernard,

SlowRider, is that a hint on how you ride,

I generally pick up the pace juST a little bit..

well welcome here at OzSTOC,, nobody has mentioned the National Rally yet in Mackay FNQ later this year.. might be a good chance of meeting a lot of interSTaters like me. I'm from Picton, NSW,

but often venture into other STates.

Haha, slow rider ... it's what I tell my wife at least. I couldn't think of anything else.

G'day SlowRider, welcome to the forum

Hopefully you'll be able to make the next RTE

Check it out at the following link: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=12385.0

RTE = Ride To Eat

A location and time is named and everyone makes their way there to meet up, have a bite to eat, chat and check out bikes and the modifications made to them.

Some people make their way there at their own pace and meet up with everyone at the destination
Other people prefer to ride in a group, they'll ask if anyone wants to ride in an informal group and pick a location to meet up then ride to the destination.

*NOTE*
All QLD RTE info can be found in the Queensland section of the forum ( http://ozstoc.com/index.php?board=25.0 )

I look forward to seeing you at an RTE when you can make it

Cheers
Shiney

Thanks Kev, I'll be leaning on that knowledge as I learn about the bike.

Yes, the dunning kruger effect is strong in some. That is... sometimes the stupid are too stupid to realise they are stupid. Haha.

(I may, but will never admit, have fallen into this category in the past)

Lol. I was just

Welcome SlowRider , all the way from Tassie , hopefully meet you at the rally

Biggles · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2018, 09:21:45 AM »

Plenty of ST Owners here in Brissie- you often see them among the traffic. I lane-split on mine, but beware the mirrors are very close to the wing mirrors on cars. Oh, and watch your head on those big truck mirrors!

Welcome aboard from South Oz.

Enjoy the bike and the site
