I tracked you down on the interweb when I first had the dopey idea of restoring the old St1100.
Looks like a good crew and I will turn up at an RTE when I get some free time.
Cheers

Now you're into the swing of things, you need to post a photo of your ST.
Good to see another FNQ member.  The guys up that way will be happy to add another potential rider to the RTE plans.

Well,

I have been here before but not for many many years. I am the "Jinxy" referred to by "Diesel" (Dave) in his amusing story.
Spent 34 years with Qld Police and became what was known as a "Shit magnet". Every shift , every time there was something happening.
People at work just started calling me "Jinxy". Some never knew my first name and the name stuck and my Black Aura still exists.

With just that one post to his credit, it would appear Lorna didn't approve of his playing in our game...    :grin

Well I might as well add my two bobs worth here :-)

Many years ago I was into remote control racing cars. I used to always put Sponsorship stickers on them from Japanese company Calsonic Kansei. So I got the nickname Calsonic. I have used it for everything for the last 20 or more years.

Welcome to OzSTOC Dave.  There are a few other members in the broader Croydon - Lilydale area, you might meet up with some of them soon.

There's a ride to Bruthen for lunch, and some for dinner and overnight, next weekend, details here: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=14291.msg1284564#msg1284564

Only 8 more sleeps.

Went to football training as a newbie wearing a Bodų/Glimt shirt which had BODŲ written on it in big letters.  Not knowing my name people started calling me Bodo and I thought I can live with that.  The rest is history.

Welcome Gomez. With so many Dave's here, it helps to have a good individual nickname.

You're not the first person to have said that.
