Hi from Snake!!
« on: September 25, 2013, 10:12:10 AM »
Hi all!!  My name is snake (steve to ppl of the non bike persuasion) from the south burnett region of qld.  I've got an ex police st1100 that I got early 2011 but haven't ridden it enuff due to work and other commitments but am going to change that and have started spending a lot more time on it and loving it.   I've been following the forum for quite a while now and have gained some great info and knowledge from it which has been a great help to me and so wanted to be a part of the gang.

Am looking forward to going on a few rides and meeting the great crew from here.   :beer

Good choice of a Tourer there, Snake.
Glad you've already benefited from the Forum.  Hope you can make it to an RTE soon.  You're not far from anywhere when you ride an ST!
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

Thanks Biggles.  Am hoping to make the RTE to Bellbird Café on Sunday as long as the pager doesn't go off before I leave.   :||||

Hi Abe.  I built the trailer back in 1995 to go behind the kwaka Vulcan 1500 I had (and still do).  Its been around the block more than a few times but has served me well. It has a waterproof lid/table and can fit an esky on the 'A' frame for camping with no probs

From memory I ran about 14 - 16psi in the tyres.  Haven't checked them for a bit as I'm putting new wheel bearing's on the ol girl.  Need to lash out and put a new tow hitch on it as well.

A big HI!! and thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome.  Am looking forward to meeting everyone over time and enjoying the rides.   :thumbs
