Hi from Townsville
« on: May 11, 2022, 06:40:59 PM »
Became member 2021.
Own a 2003 St 1300 which in April 2022 I rode from Townsville - Broome - Darwin - 300 km short of Townsville back tyre blew. Waiting for weather to clear to ride out and complete the final 300km.

The St ate the black tar every day with no problems except for the tyre blowout.

Planning doing the lap of Oz next year. :rd13

G'day to you and your stead. I'm pretty new on here as well.

Bit wet up your way at present, not as bad down here, but getting cooler nights.
