STella Milestone...
« on: January 04, 2023, 05:28:42 PM »
The mighty STella   :13Candy  has just hit 238,000+kms.


This is significant because I bought her with 38,000km on the clock and have solely put 200,000 kms on this motorcycle. All those kms have been leisure kms as I never commuted on her.


Others out there can certainly say the same, but considering I've only had to rewind the alternator in all those miles kms, plus regular maintenance, I'm considering it a huge win.


She has paid back her purchase price many times over in excitement, reliability and comfort, and taken me to many places in Australia to congregate with like-minded legends like yourselves, or simply breathe in the beauty this amazing country can offer.


I rode her today and she is still full of that fantastic buzz and exhilaration one gets from this fantastic marque.


Looking forward to a few more clicks on her. Hope to see you at a RTE some day.


Cheers, Diesel

You, brother Shiney - are one of the lucky few to have put 20 or so kms on the amazing STella. No too many other bums have been on her.   :clap :clap :clap

Two legends! 
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
