G'day from WA
« on: February 05, 2014, 09:39:46 PM »
Hi ST riders and lovers.

I have been watching the form for a while and must say it did help me make the fortunate decission to test ride an ST1300. Needless to say the rest is history and here we are today... Another happy ST rider and forum addition.

Situated in Bunbury WA, so lots of nice areas to ride.

Previous rides-
Suzuki 88 GS500E
Honda 90 VFR750R (85000 k's with me)
Ducati 94 900SS
Honda 97 CBR1100XX

In the stable still-
Husaberg FE550
Benelli 650 Tornado
Benelli 650S
Sherco ST290 (trials)
Honda 06 ST1300

Looking forward to the long rides just for a bite to eat!!

Kym

A very impressive collection of bikes.  Any chance your Missus could counsel my Missus about that matter?
The ST is proof you appreciate fine machinery, but then you've already proven that with the Blackbird.
You'll love the cameraderie in here.
Despite the distance, a few keen westies are planning on coming over to Ballarat next month for our annual run.  Ask the boss now for a week off and come and see the biggest assembly of STs in Oz.
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

Gday SouthweSTer

You are right some fantastic roads to check out down this way. 
I met the guys a few weeks ago at the Dwellingup B/fast - good fun and a very friendly bunch.
I have just got back onto 2 wheels again and looking forward to the next RTE at the Mumbie pub for lunch - see you there ?
I'm in Australind

Thanks to all the welcome aboard's!!!!

The stable is in various stages of repair and work's. Time is always a limited thing in the shed, especially when you can be out on the road.

See some of the crew at the Mummby soon>>
