Post by: Jack Abbott on September 25, 2013, 05:28:34 PM: Hi all,
My name is Jack and would like to introduce myself.
I have rode all my life and am also a Ulysses member.
I got my first ST in February 2012. My mate Geoff was upgrading to a newer model so i thought I would buy his 2004 ST 1300 just to see why he always made such a big fuss about it.
It took a while but the more I rode it the more it grew on me. I then embarked on a 6000 klm trip and really saw what the fuss was about. I liked it so much that in Feb this year I traded it for a new one and look forward to putting a lot more miles on the clock,
I look forward to meeting up with like minded folk who understand what makes the ST so enjoyable.
PS my wife has a Honda CB 1100 and says hello to you all.

There are a few of us not too far from Murrumba Downs, so you can have company if you want it when we go anywhere. Have a look at the Member Map to get an idea of our locations, but you can start with Caboolture, Brendale and Aspley.

Edit: Obviously a popular time of the day for Forum visits!! :grin

And if you start with a full tank you'll only need to refuel once. Unlike nearly every other bike.
