new to ozstoc
« on: March 05, 2015, 09:37:15 AM »
Hello everyone.

I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself.

I unfortunately do not own a bike but am a very enthusiastic pillion.
I have been on a few RTE's with the other half and have always been made to feel a part of the club.

I thoroughly enjoy getting on the back of the bike and seeing your beautiful country as I am originally from pommieland. As a child I was always on the back of a bike and loved doing it then as much as I do now.

I enjoy it so much that I think my partner is looking forward to getting his other bike back on the road to do some solo riding.

I am looking forward to meeting you all at the national rally in a few weeks and hopefully meet other enthusiastic pillions too.

See you there

Annie

Welcome to the Forum, Annie.
Pocket Stocker will gleefully embrace you in a moment, and again in Toowoomba.  If you're at all tall you might wonder who has you by the knees.    :grin

Who's the bloke up front of the bike?  I haven't tried to research that.
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

No one has thought to ask yet what blonde Annie's ambition is.  I suspect it might be to get her own ST1300!      :thumbs
