Late notice, but my uncle reckons he will show up too. Blue '99 st.

[Whizz]

Well, what a fantastic turn out, weather good, not too hot, not too sunny...but a lot of bikes on the roads, groups going everywhere.

Here are some unofficial photos of the mob, I hesitate to call us a group as there were SO MANY OF US!!



Early arrivals. Followed by;



Then we got organised and parked all the STs (both 1100's and 1300"'s) in a line on one side of the road



and a slightly different viewpoint



Counting front wheels gives us a total of 21 St's lined up alongside each other...so many that the local plod had to come and complain that we were blocking up her village!! Note the crutches next to Tipsy's machine, he arrived with them strapped across his back!!!

These are only unofficial pics, the official ones to come later, when Streak and Diesel get home!

A great ride

Cheers all
Whizz

Looks like a great day.  Really glad Tipsy was able to make it.  Our pictures and reports to come tomorrow.

[Brock]

 

Good to see, I may even grudging acknowledge any record that may come from this gathering

[Biggles]

We'll have to confess one of those "STs" is a Beemer, so it's a nice round 20

Wait until you see the SHIRT photo...   

[Maverick75]

The BMW is invisible; it is completely overwhelmed by the AWESOMENESS of ST.

The new link worked fine mate
It was a great day with great people, 350klm all up for us, loved it all

Thanks for sharing the photos guys The following is my lot, enjoy
Cheers
Shiney

[Biggles]

I'd have to agree with your sentiments, Shiney.  I was just thinking what a great bunch of people we have in the STOC.  There's just something about that bike that attracts the right sort of people to enjoy an outing with.  I suppose the other "owner groups" find a similar thing- it seems to work for the Harley mob anyway, from the specimens I passed on the road today, with their skull face cloths etc.   

I hope Col, the Bakery owner is there next time so we can thank him personally.  He doesn't have to give us discounted meals to be a great bloke.  (but it was nice of him)

[Diesel]

Thanks to all you great people for rolling up at another fine OzSTOC RTE.

A couple of 'honourable mentions' must go to Tipsy for making a Titanic effort to join us today, AND for getting our National OzSTOC Sponsor T-Shirt pic blown up and framed for presentation to the Esk Bakery - thanks mate - on BOTH counts.
- To Royce and Denise who only got home yesterday from an epic 3,000km tour through NSW, to join us today - well done.
- To ORSM and his fabulous ST1800 - nice metal mate - as always - good to see you.
- To the Greencans - great to have you as guests with us today - sorry for the poor showing - there's normally a lot more people! Have a safe and great trip back south.
- To the many new faces and first timers - thanks for coming out and we all hope you had a bonza time - hope to see you guys regularly now that you know the drill - RIDE - HAVE FUN & LUNCH - LAUGH ALOT - RIDE - easy recipe!
- To the pillions - thanks very much for enjoying the day with us - you helps make it that much more special.
- To the regulars - as usual - great to see you all again and thanks for coming out today.
- To the Esk Bakery - thanks for your hospitality and support - and thanks especially for the special lunch discount you treated us to - well done.
- and of course - to Streak, Brock and Saaz for helping to organise this weekend's National round of OzSTOC RTEs - well done gents and thanks.

Cheers, Diesel

[Streak]

I was going to write a long response, but what diesel said!

I tried to get round and meet and chat to everyone, my apologies if I missed anyone!

Great effort to tipsy as well, Turning up with crutches strapped to your back is commitment personified!

[Streak]

I just loaded a few of deisels photo's to photo buck for everyone to have a look at:

Tipsy turning up with Crutches!



Handing out the lunch vouchers given to us by esk Bakery $7.20 for a burger and a coffee was pretty sweet going!



Everyone sitting down to lunch

Here you go 20 Honda ST1100 & ST1300 all in a Row



and take a look at all those OzSTOC shirts! and all the handsome faces there to!

[Maverick75]

I have a problem with these photos. The camera seems to have added about 40kg to my normally slender frame. I suggest you have a professional look at it. The lens is obviously out of alignment  .
