Hi everyone
« on: April 22, 2018, 07:01:02 AM »
 Hello fellow enthusiasts . Only had my 95 ST since September last year and from my first inspection i new this was my bike to be , i cant stop riding it haha , my wife is so relieved  :runyay .
I have been into bikes all my life ; fist bike was a Kawasaki h2 750 triple when i was 17 , most people didnt think i was going to make 18  :nahnah :nahnah :nahnah . Had lots of Honda 750 fours , Kwaka 9,s and 1000,s. My last was a tricked out GPZRX1000 in Coolgardie West Australia , failed by 5kms to get my 300 badge , once again everyone thought i was not going to make 50  :nahnah , my wife didnt understand my need for speed and asked me not to replace it after i blew it up .
I have never been in any other club , ans spend a lot of time hiking in the mountains in Tassie by myself , so im a bit of a loner , people call me boring cause i dont drink or smoke but i have never given much thought into what other people think , i just wish to be happy .
look forward to catching up  either here or in person in the future .
Stay safe and stay happy
Regards

Hi Gazza and welcome from another Gazza, but I'm not a pirate so I only have one 'r' :grin

National Rally is in Mackay in August and there ate plenty of opportunities to meet other members.

Hi from SA.

Enjoy the site, plenty of info in the various boards & lots of advice on almost any topic just by asking.

The ST's are pretty bullet proof, I'm sure you'll get heaps of enjoyment out of it.

Cheers

So your wife is pleased you've grown up and got an old man's bike, I gather.
Well, the STs will still do the metric version of the old "ton", but you don't need to tell her that.   ;-*

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
