Title: Newbie to this site
Post by: Aussieboy on March 17, 2014, 01:59:22 PM
G'day, I have been on the STowners blog since I bought my ST1300 in 2010. Last weekend I was parked at the Garage at Strathalbyn and the Historic Japanese Bikes gathered there on a ride from Victor Harbor. Someone attached an OZSTOC card to my tank so I thought I would register and see what this site was like. I have benefitted greatly from the STowners site, but something local would be a lot better. My bike has now covered a bit over 62,000 K's about 95% of that use has been 2 up touring. We were looking at trading it on something new, but the pillion in a million cannot find anything she likes better (even thought the Goldwing was not as comfortable - pillion seat way to wide apparently) so looks like a few more farkles for the old ST and another couple of years of hard work for it. Looking forward to some interaction on the site and hopefully on the road.

Hey I wish I had known about the National Rally next weekend a bit earlier, I am tied up with a Ulysses ride or I would have been there. Great spot for a rally. Hopefully I will get to meet you at the next one. Just starting to have a look around the site here - are the events included on the calendar or is there a topic for them?

Hi Steve, welcome to the OzStoc.  As a newish member myself it is good to catch up with other people with similar interests. The information on this site has saved me lots of time and cash.  As an Adelaide local I may see you on one of the next rides.   Cheers.   Richo

The cards are a great way to promote the club, I must get some to hand out.
