Nice colour ST Tony. In 1975/76 I spent a short time at Wacol in the 2nd/14th QMI (called the CMF back then). Did a radio course first, then was lined up for the gunnery course before I went on to other things, so missed out on driving :-[ - only ever got to ride in the back of carriers at Tin Can Bay on a few weekend-warrior camps. Were good times though. Enjoy the ST.
Biggles: you do realise that a ruby is a precious STone?
And that's the name of a cult biker movie!
An ST fan for about 10 years, I am vertically challenged and couldn't quite take up the 1100, so when word came out that mother Honda was to release the 1300, I immediately started doing serious homework. I joined 4 US-based ST Forums, all as "John-DownUnder": ST1300.US (originally an old MSN site), ST-Riders (which became commercial and eventually disappeared), My-MC Touring, then ST-Owners (+ OxSTOC on Yahoo here in Oz). All great sources of info and together learning lots about how to get the best out of our STs and accessories. I still post to ST-Owners.com (great site) and occasionally to ST1300.US.com.

ST Riders (The LiST) is still operating, John:

There was some argy-bargy, but they seem to co-exist with ST Owners (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/) now.
Both well woth subscribing to.
We have enough members on the forum with Military service to start our own militia. I did 5 years in the SAS. (Saturdays and Sundays) carrying the GPMG - M60. Was attached to the "Queensland Ag College - First officer training unit". Only go the one hook up but had a ball.

Good to see a local!!
I'n sure that we're going to organise a ride to (at least) the Mapleton/Maleny area at some stage!
I think that with all the guys with Military, Police and Emergency services experience we could start our own small country!!
I'm a sparky by trade, so I may be of some use!
To insert photos first you need to sign up with photobucket! It makes it much easier nowadays.

Then on the Yammy XJ750 some years later, I got rear ended while waiting at a stop sign, a guy in a ute, came up behind me at speed, ramming my bike into oncoming traffic, I actually saw it coming in time to leap off to the left of my dear bike, missing going under his front wheels (Am I lucky or what?).
My missus, Scooterbear, rides as well, she's currently on a DN01 that is rapidly becoming what I believe will be the most customised one in Oz. She's been riding for about 6 years starting on a 50cc scooter, then 150, 250, 400 and then the DN01.

Hi My names TomWelcome Tom, You'll find a nice home here, Put your feet up and hang around :p
God I'm sexy
I can see your nose hairs in that pic, not a good sight really
While wheeling the bike out of the garage I dropped the bike. I was too weak to hold the bike.
Now with a gimpy leg I found the blackbird too uncomfortable to ride. I have seen the light and got the 1300 .
Cheers Adam :blk13
