Hi all, newbie here from England had my 98 ST1100 for two years and love it.

A little personel info had to give up work 9 years ago to look after my wife who has Multiple Sclerosis this is 24/7 so only get to ride a couple weeks a year. Next best thing is reading about others enjoying the two wheeled experience. 8)

Interesting decals. 
What's the location?
Goodonya for looking after your wife with MS.  Sounds like it's pretty advanced.
Glad you're enjoying the site.  We have a few internationals on OzSTOC now.
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

Hi Keith,
Nice looking ST. Welcome. Sorry to hear about your wife. MS is a dreadful disease. I hope she is living a comfortable life. Always fancied riding my ST around the UK one day. We might get there yet. Hope you enjoy the Forum.
Cheers

Hi Keith,

Welcome to the Aussie site.

I've seen some of your posts on the My MC forum........your ST1100 and GL1500 sparked my curiosity to see if you are the same person
