Newbie from the Grampians
« on: August 07, 2014, 09:29:52 PM »
Hi all,
Another newbie, I've had my 2000 ST1100 for about 5 years. I met several ST Owners Club members last weekend at the Border Run 2014 great bunch and hence I've joined up.
Nickname is Massif after one of the wines I make, Massif Shiraz in the lovely Grampians region. Visit some time.
Also have some british bikes in the stable and a CX500 cafe, look forward to meeting more members.
Ride Safe, Simon 'Massif'

Welcome Simon. A winery in the Grampions. Now that sounds like an ideal location for a Victorian RTE.

I see the worst winos have jumped in with their welcomes already.  Biggest, quickest welcoming party I've ever seen in here!
Goodonya for doing a Border Run.  You'll fit right in.  Just don't skip any vintages to go on rides...
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
