Hi all,

I'm Wendy from Darwin.  I've been riding for about 7 years, 6 and a half of those on my 1995 ST1100.  Just got back from the Black Dog Ride, had an absolute ball  :thumbsup

A couple of the guys there suggested that I drop in and have a look, so here I am.

Welcome to the zoo Wendy. :runyay

They really are a great crew here. I'm sure you'll enjoy the ribbing we tend to give one-another when someone does or says something out of the ordinary.  :eek

The 1100 is a great bike, I rode one for a number of years and loved it, then I cheated on it and took myself a 1300, love her as well. :crazy

Take care and ride safe,

Dave                                                           :wht13

Hi Wendy welcome to the forum, enjoy your time here  :thumbs

I will be doing a run up your way around the 24 Sep, it will be a maroon 1100 with a couple of antennas hanging off the back if you see it, give a wave :thumbsup

Hello Wendy!

And welcome aboard  :thumb that makes our NT numbers a total of 2! Brilliant stuff, if you liked the black dog ride, there is our national rally in South Australia in march if your interested....

But welcome anyway, there is so many good people and excellent information here, so ask the questions and post your ideas  :hatwave

Cheers

Welcome Wendy.

Now there are two from NT, it will be harder to claim the World Record for 100% of State members attending a National rally. :grin :grin

Now there's a State with drive.  Doubling their numbers just like that!
Welcome Wendy.  Beware of Ozrider if he suggests a quick run down south.   :eek

Hi all,

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope in future to be able to make it to the national rally at some point, but probably not in the next couple of years, the joys of being a single mum, I don't get away very often. Don't get to ride as much as I like, full stop. With a teen and a pre-teen to shuttle around to sports etc, and working shift work, the opportunity isn't there.

Hi Carsten, I remember meeting you. I said I'd look up the STOC, glad I did.

Wendy

Maybe there should be a "world record" for highest percentage state attendance at a club ride.

Mate, you can't resemble that...you aren't even old enough to qualify as a crusty"old" f**t according the the original old F**rts (The Ulysses's folks), so I don't know what your problem is!  :rofl :crackup

You'd better believe it Streak  :grin

Although my first priority is to drag the Ulysses Top End Branch into line. As of tomorrow I'm branch pres. Once they're in order, I can give you guys some more of my attention....  :cop

If any of you guys venture up this way I'd love to catch up for a ride.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the welcome. I've been a bit quiet of late, been ridiculously busy with work and kids. Haven't even had a chance to ride since Friday! Things should settle down a bit soon, I hope.....

G'day Wendy - great to have you aboard - you're in great company up there with that other legend - ol whatsizname!           :rofl

Read your other tale of how you came to get the ST!!!      :-++ :-++ :-++

Also see you're in the mix for the National Meet next year.        :thumbs

Enjoy your time here and thanks for being funny!      :thumb

Keep those Sillies up there in line too - quick question... can a NT Ulysian even make it out of NT? (Considering the distances and fuel range of a 'tractor'???)      :rofl

Welcome aboard mate.

Cheers, Diesel
