Newbie from Gidgegannup
« on: January 01, 2015, 08:07:51 PM »
Hi guys

Just joined the forum. I have a 2003 ST1100 ex WA Police bike, this is the second ST i have owned (5 Honda's in total). Had 1 BMW but came back to Honda. Originally from Scotland I moved here to WA 10 years ago. Mostly ride with my son who has a CB500F (Learner)

Look forward to taking part in any events that come up.

Max

Hi from Adelaide Max, and welcome. I'm a relative newcomer myself and, like you previously had a BMW (K1100LT) and decided the Japanese do it better and cheaper. I'm riding a '96 ST1100 and the only thing I miss from the K-bike is the adjustable windscreen. Maybe there's an ST1300 in my future lol  :blk11

Hi Max and welcome to the forum from a fellow West Aussie ( Wanneroo) and as Abe has mentioned your son is very welcome to ride with us, in fact our next run is on the 8th of Feb to Jarrahdale for breakfast, hope you can make it ( would be an early start for you but a nice run just the same) :hatwave

Cheers Chris                     :blk13
