congratulates but you forgot the brand of shininess tent

This Expedition Tent by Nomad is a great thing for adventure motorcycle travelers. The Nomad tent, offers 30 square feet of interior room, weighs just 13 lbs, fits 2 people and the main thing, your bike. Made from coated ripstop nylon with a polyester floor, the Nomad.

    We’ve designed a better way of camping. Our expedition tent is comfortable and incredibly functional, with no compromise in design or materials. It is a tent born of years of travel and dedicated to world adventure enthusiasts and their bikes. The Series II Expedition Tent, built specifically for touring travelers, is a real world, 2 person tent, designed to shield your motorcycle from the elements and from prying eyes.

just saying  :crackup

What a great write-up (thanks STreak), and we are sitting back and watching all the new members signing up.    :popcorn
I particularly like the big photo of my red ST1300, right at the front on page 92 :p

Great stuff, 'Streak' and to have it in a top magazine is awesome. You have done OzSTOC proud. :clap With Pete doing an excellent job  :thumb in South Australia and you following up with a great article, this club is destined for bigger things...  :blu13left

Bought ours today.

If it wasn't for the Ozstoc item I wouldn't have got it.

Nice article Graham.

Amazing to get that many pages.  The previous clubs just got two.
Made a good read.  I suspect it's the rider magazine most likely to be bought by the Honda ST demographic.
Please don't ask me to define that last phrase.

My take on it is, numbers and enthusiasm, each and everyone of us talked nothing but positivity, and everyone we had got promotion from, including Honda have really been impressed with how we carry ourselves, there are no political dramas either.

As a club we function very simply, happily, and we are very proud of what we are

I have just finished reading the story (ok i know i am slow) and must congratulate Streak on such a wonderful article. For us that for one reason or another did not make it to the AGM, it really almost made me feel like i had attended. Another reason to love this forum.
Thanks again Streak and keep up the good work.

Well done David Graham - it was a stroke (streak) of genius to firstly co-found (confound) the group along with Diesel, Brock, Saaz, Biggles, StinkyPete, PoppyDave, Whizz, Tony and in more recent times Shiney, Sabie, Alan1100, Abe, Rubencan, WAG, Winstone66, WendyL (apologies for any mistakes or omissions) ... Who have I left out of the kernel of members who were fundamental to this most democratic of forums? Normally I wouldn't join a group whose standards were so low as to allow someone like me to join - but in the case of OZstoc I've made an exception.   :o  Congratulations on the article - a GR8 summary of the forum.

Thanks for those great words St George.

I was looking through the Road Rider Mag and noticed the 58 page DriRider catalogue contained within - have you all seen this? Some great products and bargains in there if you are looking to update some gear in the near future.

Cheers, Diesel
