Hi all members,
My name is Jonathan and live in Lynbrook, Melbourne. I recently traded my Honda NT700 for a 2008 ST 1300A with 67000kms. Bikes in beautiful condition considering its age and mileage compliments to the previous owner. I bought the bike from Jack Pengelly of Spot on motorcycles Elizabeth st. The rego no is HD854, I wonder if the previous owner was or still is a member of Ozstoc.
Well, I'm excited to be a member of this club and look forward sharing experiences of the ST.
Regards.
Jonathan.

To post an image, upload it to a Photobucket account or similar, then copy and paste the IMG link, similar to below

Welcome 2 the nuthouse Jonathon - from the 'Gong (capital of the NSW South Coast).

It doesn't even cost peanuts to join ozSTOC and you won't shell out much to access a cashew of info here either. Just say "Open Sesame" and a whole bag of advice will b at your fingertips. Each kernel of knowhow will b salted with a spice of wisdom...
 :whistle
BTW - my first (and only new m/c) was a '72 TX500 (2 models b4 your TX500).
Metal-flake Grey - very stylish and a very nice ride):

Welcome Jonathan.

Hmm, wonder if it was your old NT700 my dad bought not long ago?  I'll have to ask him where in Melbourne he got it.... All I know is he bought it from Melbourne and got it crated to Darwin, I wasn't overly impressed since I'd offered to fly down and ride whichever one he bought back for him.  He's still not used to, nor does he approve of, his "little girl" doing long distances solo....

Cheers
