I'm new here
« on: August 05, 2012, 11:45:14 PM »
Hi there I thought I'd drop a line and say hello.
I'm a converted St1300 rider.
I traded my BMW K1200GT and picked up a really nice black ST1300 with 11,000km on the clock. What a great ride. Smooth gearbox and motor.
Looking forward to some great riding.
cheers

Yep- we see a lot of that around here!  Welcome aboard.
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 Martin
The Beemers a good bike but the ST is better (non biased opinion of course)
Cheers

Welcome aboard Martin - at 11,000km, she'd still be breast feeding. That's as good as new!

Have a look at some of the older posts to see what we've been prattling on about in the past - there might actually be a gem of wisdom in there somewhere.

Hope to see you in a Sandgroper RTE Pic real soon.       :thumbsup

Thanks for the intro.

Cheers, Diesel
