Hi all
« on: July 23, 2015, 06:25:21 PM »
Hi everybody,

I've just purchased my first ST1100 and am madly falling in love.

She's a 2002 model with 68,000kms who started out life as a QLD Police cycle and has had only two owners since then.

I'm located in the NSW Southern Highlands in Robertson.

Not looking to go crazy with modifications, however looking at some Oxford heated touring grips, a USB/12v socket mounted somewhere and perhaps a screen that reduces some of the buffeting, so will have to have a look through the forums for ideas.

Cheers
Andrew.

Hi Andrew. Welcome.   You have found the right spot for information about the new toy and other people like yourself who have a passion for a great bike.  The amount of information on this forum is only surpassed by the details you get meeting the other riders on an RTE (ride to eat).  Cheers
Richo

Hi Andrew,
Welcome to the clan. I use to live in Robertson, bloody cop shot my dog cause it got out of the yard, but that's a different story.
Still catch a pie every time I travel through and by the way if you are buying Oxfords, which I'm not surprised (gets mighty cold up there) buy the "Adventure" model as they are the right length.
All the best,
A.
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Hope you're already feeling welcome.  You're certainly getting plenty of free advice!     :grin

The Mods have got the forum nicely set up to find what you want, and the search function works a treat.
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
