New Member From Gippsland Victoria
« on: May 28, 2013, 09:37:04 AM »
I have been riding trail bikes (still own Yamaha TTR 250) for the last 40 years however, have recently purchased a 2008 ST1300A.
As I am a CFA volunteer Firefighter I have also recently joined the Red Knights Motor Cycle Club at Sale.
Have been on two rides with the Red Knights & have found the bike to perform very well.

Welcome Greg. I passed through Sale the other day it is a nice area and I was lucky enough to time it correctly so see the swing bridge being opened. 08 is a great year, what colour is yours?

Hi Greg and welcome to OzSTOC.   I too have a 2008 ST1300 on which I have ridden many great adventures.   Sale is a nice part of the country, and Culinan Park is a usual lunch or coffee break stopover for me if I'm heading east.
Great to have you on the forum.   :hatwave

Black is best, That's why all the runout models are black...It was the most expensive, and all the cheap skates went for the more inferior colours

Welcome to the forum Greg. I too was a CFA volunteer for about 15 years until about 2 years ago and held many office positions right up to 1st lieutenant. Like the CFA, they are a great bunch here. Enjoy your time with us.
