Newbie from Port Macquarie
« on: May 25, 2013, 08:07:12 AM »
Hello all

Got the bug back after a 36 year hiatus doing the kids, mortgage, divorce and all that other stuff that gets in the way of a good ride and have now graduated to a ST1100 in February after stints on Honda Deauville and K75RT (which I trashed after coming off at Gingers) ride rather more sedately now. Love the ST and looking forward to some longer rides with the pillion in a million and catching up with some of you guys in the future. Cheers for now.

Hi Rosco, welcome
Were pretty short on members on the Mid Nth Coast, look forward to meeting up.  I live at Stewarts River.
Check the next RTE at Ebor in July.  Myself and TC from Harrington are going so keep it in mind.

Welcome Rosco,

There's a whole bunch of us who have had the "enlightenment" beamed down on us from above (I'm only bullsh**ing) to ride a mc again after many years in a cage and the ST was my dream machine for decades.

OzSTOC gets your RRRs off the sofa and onto the windy, windey road and can help when the STeed has thrown a shoe.

BTW your STeed is RED isn't it?  :hatwave   -  if not then ignore everything I have just said  :well  :rofl

Welcome Rosco.  I just visited a new member in Port Macquarie (Richard Court) so perhaps you can start a new branch up there.
