G'day all, I'm from the Lake Macquarie area and recently bought a 2004 ST1300 which is my first Honda since a K2 750 back in the early 70s. I've had a lot of bikes in the past such as a Kawasaki Z1 900, Yamaha XS 1100, BMW R1100RT. Really love the feel of this bike and looking forward to a lot of touring miles and reading about the travels of other members.

welcome from the West Toddy, had a K2 about a hundred years ago, I think after the ST it was the best bike I have ever owned.

Welcome to the fray.  Have a look at the member map (tab at top of page).  There's a handful of members in your vicinity.  Was a Novocastrian myself years ago.  Rode a Suzuki 80 around the city and the Lake.
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
