Title: New to OzSTOC and loving our ST
Post by: Scarlett Thunderbolt on December 17, 2014, 08:44:28 PM
Hi everyone,
We are John and Kate Chiconi from Bakers Creek, just south of Mackay Qld. We're the proud owners of Miss Scarlett Thunderbolt, our 2008 dark red ST1300, which we acquired in August 2014. She's not our only bike. We also have Miss Ruby Tuesday, a ruby red Piaggio BV350, but Scarlett is our lovely big girl, the one we do our long trips on. John's the Pilot and Kate wears all the other hats (co-pilot, navigator, cabin-crew...). We both have our bike licences and need little persuading to get out on the road in the tropical sunshine. Recently we have enjoyed rides with mates in The Vintage British Motorcycle Club, here in Mackay, and we often take trips up to Airlie Beach or up the Pioneer Valley.

We're looking forward to our next trip to Cairns, for a couple of days traversing the ranges up and down, and around the Atherton Tablelands... and enjoying the scenery of the Cpt Cook Hwy up to Pt Douglas. Also in the near future is a return trip to Coffs Harbour, where Kate has family. After that, our wish list includes joining aforementioned mates on an epic trip down to Tassie... but that's a while off yet.
More Soon!

Welcome aboard, folks.  Red rides are always welcome to help offset the cheek the blues, blacks and whites dish out.
An ST in company with a scooter rode down from FNQ to our last National Run in Ballarat this year, so Toowoomba should be an easy run for both of you.

Welcome to the family of OzSTOCers.

Apart from the National Rally which is going to be AWESOME, there is also a ride to eat (RTE) up your way in June. 
Details can be found here: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8213.msg94331#msg94331 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8213.msg94331#msg94331)

The two bikes look quite nice together.   ++

Hope to see you at a gathering or on your way south through Brisbane soon.
