Wendy and I left Canberra Sunday morning around 9am with Shane and Jean and headed off to Yass, Binalong, Boorowa and then onto Crookwell for lunch. Walking back to our bikes we were greeted by Ruben, who is a wonderful ambassador for the STowners club. Thank you Ruben for the catch up. We then headed of back home through Gundaroo and then home, great ride around 350ks. Love our new ST1300, 8 days old now with 1050ks on the dial. Cheers Peter. 
Hi there Peter and Wendy,
I always get a real Buzz at seeing an ST out and about and meeting fellow pilots. I found it particularly humorous that two ST13's were escorting the one Harley, I do believe I may have dropped a remark or two to that effect. Funny how a shared interest is all that is needed to spark an immediate mateship.
I similarly had a good group ride with fellow Ulysseans having left Sutherland at 9am taking the old Highway to Bulli tops, then down to Albion Park to begin the ascent of Macquarie Pass, going past Roberston to a little tea house at "Werai" for morno's. after a nice cuppa it was back roads through Bundanoon to Marulan to refuel a cruiser. from Marulan to Goulburn then Crookwell for lunch. The return trip was back to Goulburn for another rider to refuel and then a lazy 110Km/h on the highway back to Illawong. Got home with 471K's on the odo and refuelling showed that I still had 6 litres to go to empty. You just have to love the range on these bikes, it just wants to keep on going even if I'm buggered. It was nice catching up with Peter and Wendy and their fellow riders.
Ruben
