New ST1300 Rider
« on: October 27, 2018, 08:07:13 AM »
Hi all, I've been riding for 16 odd years and have recently moved from sports bikes to a sports tourer for the wife and I to get away (might also have something to do with getting a bit old to ride a 1000cc sports bike for more than half an hour without looking like I'm crippled when I get off  :-[ )

Recently bought an '05 ST1300 with 38,000kms, factory Honda radio and cruise control as well. Not a bad setup and very comfortable to ride.

I look forward to chatting with you all and maybe meeting up with some of you in person at a later stage.

Cheers,
Coop.

Cheers StinkyPete.

I'm originally from the south of Adelaide, so yeah, would be good to meet on a ride away. :thumbs

Thanks johnnyYTED.

I'm located about 60kms north of Melbourne.

Once I get these fuelling/ misfire issues sorted I can get out and meet a few members.  :||||

Welcome Coop.  You've chosen the right bike for two-up touring. Mrs Biggles and I have been in Tassie riding over 300 kays most days without any aches or pains.  And she's not a real young chickie.  My ST13 turned over 100 thou last week and has had nothing done to the donk, so yours should come up trumps soon.
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

Welcome from Saint Helena to the mad house Coop.

.... check the RTE list for your state....


The VIC RTE (Ride to Eat) list is not current, but ......

.... there is an RTE Ride to eat o/n at Harrow Vic on the 17th Nov. http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=12943.0


That one is up to date.

There is also an RTE planned to the Inline Four Cafe at Cape Wooloomai early December, as soon as I find the thread, I'll post a link.

Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)
