Title: Return riding after a long break
Post by: ChriST1300pher on December 24, 2016, 04:47:49 PM

I have recently bought an ST1300A (Nov 2011 with 45000ks). This is the third Honda I have owned, previously CB450F early 1970s and a CB400F Supersport 1975.

I hope to join a Ulysses club after I have done a riding course to brush up on skills.

My son has a 1986 GB400TT and has been repaying his car driving lessons by coaching me on the ST.

Looking forward to trips over the mountains.

Cheers to all members, have a safe and enjoyable Christmas  :Cake1

Chris's profile shows that he's in the Blue Mountains, so the NSW rides will be nice and close.   :thumbsup

Welcome Chris.

If you are going to join the Ulysses Club you should do that before undertaking a course as they will partially subsidise the cost of your course, so it would be worthwhile to join first. If you are in the Bathurst area these two providers might be worth considering, http://www.stayupright.com.au/nsw-intermediate-course (http://www.stayupright.com.au/nsw-intermediate-course) ,
And http://skillmaster.com.au/ (http://skillmaster.com.au/)

Cheers

Terry
