Hi All
« on: March 09, 2014, 09:55:28 AM »
My names Dave and I just purchased my first St1100, an ex police bike at a very good price.   I live in Singleton NSW and I am retired from the Army.   Been riding road and dirt bikes all my life, but have only recently decided to get back into road bikes as I now have plenty of time on my hands.   
   I look forward to catching up with some of you guys in the not too distant future.   I am going to do the usual timing belt, valves, oil change etc, then take her for a good ride.   I have a few mates that have recently retired also and like myself are single with no real commitments and they too are going to buy some ST's.
   I love the forum and there is a wealth of experience on here, I have spent many hours reading some of the posts and there appears to be some real jokers in this group.   If I get into any trouble I know where to come for some great advice.   Once again it is a pleasure to be a part of this group.
Regards
Gibbo

Hi All,
    Many thanks for the greetings.   I've looked at the NSW calendar and there are a few I will go too, all going well.   Mid-week 14 May 14, Gloucester sounds good, just a stone throw from Singleton.   Overnight 12 Jul 14 Uralla is a go and finally overnight 20 Sep 14 Inverell is also in the diary.   Look forward to meeting you all then.
Cheers
Gibbo

Ah, the singles from Singleton.
Where do they go when they get married?
Welcome.  And great to hear you're establishing the Singleton STOwners' Branch.  As you will have noticed, the Forum is growing daily.
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

G,day Dave,

Don't start throwing stones from Singo mate one of 'em might hit me at Vacy!

There is a Black Dog ride in a couple of weeks going from somewhere on the Central Coast to Dalwood near Branxton. I will be going with some mates in you are interested.

The other guys I ride with are on hogs but I just ignore their unsubstantiated sense of superioty!
