How's that for a coincidence!?

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Welcome Mikan13, from another Ipswich local. I live over at Flinders View if you would like to come visit. I had an ST-1300 but was not allowed to ride it for a year from April because of a serious brain tumour, so I had to sell it.  Haven't got a bike at the moment, but rest assured that I am going to be getting something else as soon as I can persuade she-who-must-be-obeyed to give me the cash!!!
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Mikan - thanks for the great intro!

Hopefully you are enjoying your OzSTOC affiliation experience.


There are usually plenty of rides requiring Members to fly-by, so please feel free to jump in the queue and come to lunch.
