Hello there, my name is Steve and I live on the south side of Canberra - not far away from the Monaro Highway where folks travel to the Snowies or down to the South Coast via Cooma. I have owned my ST1300 for 5 years and have clocked up 108,000 ks. I used to work as a Business Analyst, but now am retired. I am a member of the Ulysses club and I will be attending this years AGM In Mildura. My longest ride was from Canberra to Perth and return 2 years ago. Another long run was up to Townsville. My folks live on the Gold Coast and have done a few night rides from home to there. Usually commence at 02:00 and arrive on the Gold Coast just after lunch. Now, that I have time on my hands, it takes me 3 stops - one in Mudgee, then Armidale, then down the hill to Coffs Harbour and onward to the Coast. Have a cub trailer and do camping runs around the place. Usually around April - June, I head down to Beechworth / Bright area and enjoy the high country pubs with their open fire places, pizzas and red wine. Cheers Steve
