G'day, auntymal here....
« on: July 12, 2013, 08:53:14 AM »
G'day, auntymal here.
                                   At home, "Heaven, north of Gotham City", I'm surrounded by ST owning riding mates, sadly I find 'em (bike) a tad heavy for my broken/repaired body!...smooth and swift otherwise...therefore my "ST" is a horse of a different colour. Nevertheless, I've noticed ST owners actually RIDE their motorcycle. Always a pretty good start! I've done a couple of Iron Butts on my bike. one @ 2217k the other @ 2523k  (forgive the 'vanity' but they took a lot outa me!)...everyone should do what make's 'em happy, and going for a ride is a bloody good start! I also help out with the Thunder Rally aiding the Spinal unit, and received generous support here when I approached the powers that be inviting participation etc. Thanks guys. I'm also a keen fisho, and love nothing better than combining a good ride with a fishing expedition! Finally, I contribute to CycleTorque magazine where I'm thrown the keys to a nice modern bike or two, from time to time. The 'work' is pro-bono as they help out with support for the Spinal Unit etc. Looking forward to the warming weather and clear runs through the hills.
                                                                 sun & corners, aunty  :runyay

Hi AuntyMal and gidday from the SA crew.   Even if you don't ride an ST, as one who appreciates the fine qualities of ST's you are most welcome here.  Perhaps we'll meet on the road.  :thumbs

...thanks lads! awesome welcome!...er...I 'do' ride an ST, but, truthfully it is a 'horse of a different colour', much smaller in weight and capacity than a 'real ST'!...as all my 'real ST' riding mates are quick to point out!...ha ha... >:()

..ha ha! In my case it doesn't happen very often! 99% fishing, 1% catching! The two boys in the middle of the pictures, Bear, (scowling) and Munty (surprized) are a classic example=Bear is the best fisho in Newcastle, Munty, (also from Canberra) likes it but, gets distracted by a good time, nevertheless he caught 3 while erecting his tent!!! (the reason why Bear has that 'look'=disgusted!)...and..we couldn't believe our eyes!!!

Glad you appreciate the fine qualities of the ST, Mal.  Obviously a man of fine intellect.
Now it's time to quit telling fish stories and post a pic of this "horse of a different colour".   :popcorn

G'day AuntyMal - glad you made it aboard.

Thanks for a very entertaining intro. Hope all goes well with the ThunderRally mate.

Keep those of us who can't make it informed with more pics.
