Title: New Member Introduction
Post by: Kingy on May 02, 2013, 09:31:10 PM

Hi everyone. I am a new member and looking forward to meeting some of you guys/attending rides etc. I live on acres in the Hawkesbury and have had a number of bikes...three BMW K series, a beautiful dark blue ST1100 which I loved and a black FJR 1300 Yamaha which was recently written off. A young lady who was travelling in the opposite direction to myself was listening to her GPS which told her to keep right. So I met her on my side of the road as I swept around a left hand bend at Bell above the weigh station. I was always going to hit her but managed to avoid a head on, hit her in the passenger door behind the driver. The bike and I went down the road...bike written off. It was my lucky day in more ways than one...no injuries and the subsequent purchase of a replacement bike...a brand new ST1300 black in colour. I could not believe my luck, the ST1300's are apparently in run out mode..$16,990 ride away. To good to miss. I have just racked up 1,200 kms..nicely run in and ready for the first service. I love the bike and prefer it to the FJR. Looking forward to meeting some members...Steve.

Reminds me of Henry Ford with The model T. "any colour you like, as long as it's black"

Well, that's an original way to gain entry to the club!!
I'm glad I just went into a shop and traded in my old one.  Getting taken out by a cage sounds way too risky!
