Hi all. I ride a 2002 ST1100P and last week I bought a 2008 ST1300 from Devonport.
Some years ago I was a member of the original OZSTOC where I met some of the current members, SAAZ, Barry, Laurie and Dick.
I have retired and can focus on long distance riding, FarRides and IBA rides.
I hope to meet you at the March rally. Cheers.

Hi Lionel,
I remember meeting you at Robertson last year when you came long with John (Saaz). Your new bike is a twin to mine. (A very discerning choice!). Look forward to catching up with you at Middleton. Welcome back to the forum.
Cheers
DickB

Welcome back to the zoo Lionel

G'day Lionel - welcome ~~abroad~~ aboard.

Keep an eye on Lionel and his endeavours folks - rumour has it that his last set of tyres on lasted 1 month!!!!!!

Plenty of ST resources and gurus here to answer any queries you may have about your new ride.

I won't tell 'em what question I was asked yesterday by you and saaz!

Cheers, Diesel

It must be someone else Doug.
I live in the inner South and rarely use the Parkway.
I'm interested in "all the antennas" as I need to get comms for the new bike.

Another red 08, good choice Lionel, welcome. If you are interested a gear indicator, the one below is a plug and play for 08s and later

Goes to show that the ST13 is not as simple to work on as the ST11

but easier to ask a guru that read a manual or look up the interweb

Good to see you join the ranks Lionel. Pity you missed the Tassie FarRide, damn fine "reds" at Festivale.

And as for the photos, I took the first one at the Snowy Ride last year while we were having a few wheat beers (mine is the dark one). The second is in my driveway, admire the camellias and azaleas.

Welcome Lionel i not long in the club .
so far i like it . you must two to come back

Lionel · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2013, 08:04:58 PM »

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
I have been out and about a bit lately.
Saaz put a new front tyre on the ST1100 for me on 23 Dec; 177,280 km on the speedo.
Today he changed the tyre for me even though the tread wasn't down to the wear marks; 200,159 km.
That sort of wear out of a front tyre is a record me for.
Its more remarkable given the temps through outback Queensland, NT and across to WA - mostly 40+ degrees.
I'm still trying to make the national meet at Middleton.

Strewth, aren't you the quiet achiever then!? Nearly 23000 kays in two months!

But the FarRider FarChallenge was completed, all of the pictures. The wear marks on the side were ok, but the aramid etc fibers as part of the carcass were starting to want to appear in some parts. Have to take a few photos tomorrow of spark plug tools, tyres etc
