Me and My Ride
« on: January 24, 2016, 08:47:36 PM »
Hi I'm Rob.Born in Broken Hill nsw, now living in Queensland :bl11 MY ride 2004 ST1300, graciously from My mate Shiney, Have known him a few years now and both share the love of ST's and riding.
I have been riding various bikes through my years on earth kwakas. Yamies. Hondas.
Best Kwaka Z1R mark II. Best yamie FJ1200. Best Honda 750 Four F-1 and NOW ST1300.
In 2004 I purchased a Yamaha FJR 1300 and rode to Adelaide to my fathers funeral and back {sore back,sore BUTT} immediately traded it for ST1300 Honda. Was VERY happy with it until that horrible word (DIVORCE) raised its ugly head and i lost my beloved ST, BUT now am happy to have another :blu13left :thumbsup :thumbs
