Howdy from South Australia

Howdy some call me Donk some call me Andy take your pick
       I am a new owner of a 1998 ST1100 in blue. I purchased the bike in Melbourne and rode it home to S.A. The bike has 142000 km on the clock so its just about run in.
I myself am a semi retired mechanic of some 57 years that likes to cruse the back roads of the Blue Mountains.
