Hello from Llangothlin
« on: April 21, 2013, 10:24:00 PM »
Some might know where this is, many have probably been thru it and blinked and don't remember where it was..... I live there in a little village (Llangothlin) 50k north of Armidale on the New England Hwy. My name is Steve up front with Pamela sharing the ride. Currently i am looking for an ST wether very low k's 1100 or 1300. My current ride for the past few Odyssey's is my Kwaka GTR 1000 which has seen some great adventures however going to a 1400 in my opinion would not be an upgrade hence my long time admiration of the ST Series has been re-ignited.
I sometimes tow a trailer and luv to just ride and camp, wake up and ride again. Looking forward to the camaraderie that my riding friend Chris - ST2UP is enjoying
an Odyssey is "A Long Journey" and this Odyssey Rider loves doin' just that on my Honda ST1300

Welcome Steve....great username, now to make the package complete.......can see a good old GTR 1000 being sat around the the back of the shed with a tarp over.....or a trike conversion perhaps !!!

Getting a few members up in the Tablelands now.....Woo Hoo !!

With that Forum name you're probably not going to get an 1100.   :p

You're in good hands if ST2Up is your mentor.  Hope you get the ST soon.  Like Chris says- chuck a fit and get it!  There are some good value STs for sale most of the time.
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 Steve & Pamala   :beer
Welcome to this great Forum from Toowoomba in Sunny Queensland
I must have blinked or had a micro sleep as I don't remember Llangothlin
or is it that little place with servo on left hand side travelling south ?
We usually duck into the Caltex servo near airport at Armidale for fuel when touring south

Llangothlin is 10 k's North of me at Guyra on the New England and yep little independent servo on the left. Llangothlin gets colder than even Guyra.....if you beleive thats possible.

I must have been awake then, you ride through these little places not know there name unless you are looking for it or you have run out of fuel. But that wouldn't happen on a St1300 with 29 litres.

My current ride for the past few Odyssey's is my Kwaka GTR 1000

Steve
My previous bike was also a Kawasaki GTR1000 which was a good bike but now I am loving the ST1300

Welcome Pamela and Steve,

Good luck with your ST search. Chris (ST2UP) is a nice bloke (when asleep) but Jean is lovely all the time  :rofl. Your got good riding partners there.

See you on the road.

Cheers

So has the 1100 already been traded?  where and what details about the 1100, could be worth a trip to have a look

Welcome Steve, from another who's not long been on board. 

LLangothlins in the country I love touring through. Few places nicer than the New England.

Few machines as good as the ST.

Welcome steve.  I must have gone through Llangothlin not long ago coming back from Maryborough. I remember Guyra (just!) so perhaps it was because it was early in the morning.  I usually remember more unusual names.  And I think we may have reached our quota on red bikes for Ozstoc  :hatwave
