Hi all,
My name is Jack and would like to introduce myself.
I have rode all my life and am also a Ulysses member.
I got my first ST in February 2012. My mate Geoff was upgrading to a newer model so i thought I would buy his 2004 ST 1300 just to see why he always made such a big fuss about it.
It took a while but the more I rode it the more it grew on me. I then embarked on a 6000 klm trip and really saw what the fuss was about. I liked it so much that in Feb this year I traded it for a new one and look forward to putting a lot more miles on the clock,
I look forward to meeting up with like minded folk who understand what makes the ST so enjoyable.
PS my wife has a Honda CB 1100 and says hello to you all.

Welcome, after all these years, Jack!
There are a few of us not too far from Murrumba Downs, so you can have company if you want it when we go anywhere.  Have a look at the Member Map to get an idea of our locations, but you can start with Caboolture, Brendale and Aspley.


Edit: Obviously a popular time of the day for Forum visits!!   :grin

Howdy Jack (and wife).  The ST sure comes into its own when you decide not to just go 200kms for the day but keep on going to do 1000kms plus.  The option is always there if you need it.

And if you start with a full tank you'll only need to refuel once.  Unlike nearly every other bike.
