Whew! I'm glad to hear that. It's a bit of a smack in the eye in the photo!

Welcome to the Forum.
I'm another happy red ST1300 owner, as you can see below. We're the lucky ones with the fastest colour (which leaves me wondering where a green bike fits in that spectrum, although it seems to work OK for Kawasaki).

Post by: Kev Murphy on June 03, 2017, 11:54:10 AM: A belated welcome from the west coast of Vic, Dean.
I have been a bit remiss in checking for new members as I have been chasing another club member via spot for a week and a half. He is currently only a couple hundred Km from home in Brisbane after an east to west, and then a north to south transcontinental run in the past ten days.
Plenty of members live sorta near to your area, I am sure you will catch up with a few in the near future.
Nice looking bike!

Cheers!

My wife and I just got home from a ride to a new brewery in Lang Lang (Gippsland Victoria)...on our mighty Honda cx500...it's like a baby ST1100....and it looks like we are only days away from putting down the deposit for our first st1100 to be shipped down from Queensland! :bl11.
Great ride, amazing food and some nice beer too!
