Title: New Member from Orange NSW
Post by: Bob on March 29, 2013, 04:30:34 PM
Hi all, my names Robert, 52 from Orange NSW and the proud new owner of Tony's (Down Under) pride and joy. Thanks also to Andrew (atoyot) who pointed me Tony's direction. An immaculate ST1300 would be an understatement of the way Tony has looked after this bike. I'm over the moon with the bike, awesome to say the least.  :runyay

I also own a Ninja 1000 which will probably collect a few cobwebs while I get better acquainted with the ST. I look forward to meeting some of you on future rides.

Thanks again Tony, an absolute pleasure meeting you.  :beer

Hi Bob. Good to see that the ST is being put to great use.  They like being ridden a lot, as you will find out!  We hope to have rides up your way so stay tuned.

G'day Bob,

Welcome to the STew!

I was wondering what Atoyot was up to with his "PM sent".  :o  Now it is all clear.  :clap

Very nice  :blk13

I was the beneficiary of an Ozstoc member's sale last year. My STeed was also so farkled up that I have been scratching my (smooth) head wondering what I can add that would improve my red dragon 1300.

At last I came up with HIDDE (High Intensity Discharge Dragon Eyes):

Nice problem to have isn't it!  :runyay

Anyway, there's a meet at Ebor in July where heaps of STalwarts (STirrers, STormtroopers, STinkers, STreakers and STurgeons) are going, (where's Ebor?) - so, if u can manage it will meet'n'greet there.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

St George, I agree, quite the dilemma being the beneficiary of a STeed thats been farkled up very nicely. My initial thoughts would have been Sargent seat, Bar Risers and Heated Grips but Tony's taken care of that for me. I have an idea that Atoyot who is never short on ideas to Farkle any ride will have lots of suggestions, although having ridden my STeed he may be upgrading his suspension next  :wink1

Thanks for the kind words Robert.  I wish you a long and happy ownership mate and hope you enjoy your time at OZSTOC!  Also, I have a spare top box key which I've mailed off to you.  Look forward to crossing paths in future.

Regards,

Tony

You've really landed on your feet here, Bob.  Now you can start planning your holidays to go to Ballarat next March.
Welcome to the fray.

Absolutely, Bob! I've already raised it for the Minister for Finance and War, and seems like any funds required for suspension will have to come off the budget for the Roadking.... :'( :'( >:()

Tony, your ST is a testament to your attention to detail! The amount of work you have put into this bike has ensured that Bob has gotten off to the best STart possible in STdom. What a beautifully presented and setup ST! Bob got a bargain, and to all you who were lining up to buy it, I told Bob if he didn't I would. And that would put an even bigger dent in the Roadking budget! It is that good!

Thanks Tony, I have no doubt it will be a long and happy ownership. I would have been happy to take a run down to pick up the key ..... any excuse for a ride  :thumb
