Newbie to the STOwners Club from the UK...
« on: March 31, 2014, 01:11:10 PM »
G'Day G'Day... I recently transferred from the UK with the company I work for and have been living in Sydney for nearly 3 months now and have recently gotten a White ST1100 that I am told was an ex-paramedic emergency bike, but could have possibly been an ex-police bike, it still has the switches.

I am looking forward to meeting up with some of you NSW owners to go and find some good riding roads around the area.  I use the bike every day to ride into the CBD and seemed to have ridden every day since I got the bike, been to various places at the weekend, but not really finding the best roads.

Hope to see some of you guys out on the road.

My name is Ben, but many of my friends in the UK call me J (Extremely long story and not a particularly good one).
