G'day All,
I just wanted to pop in quickly and say 'hi'. My name's Steve and I'm gifted at coming up with imaginative user names on forums... Currently down in Geelong, in Vic, originally from SA but have moved around a bit in the past fifteen years. I'm a photographer by trade, but a procrastinator by nature. I grew up in a biking family in country SA (I've got some wonderful old photographs of my Mum as a 2yo perched on the back of her mothers brand new Velocette!), my brother and I started out on chook-chasers rounding up sheep.
My first bike was a trusty old Honda CT70 when I was about 7 years old, I've had a love of Hondas ever since. My Dad and brother always preferred their Yamaha's though... These days having had a few different bikes, I'm still love my Hondas, with two bulletproof CX's in the shed at the moment.
The open road still calls strongly in my family, Mum has just bought herself a brand new CB500X and will often be found down the Great Ocean Road following her partner on his Moto Guzzi Griso. Dad doesn't have any running bikes at the moment but is making steady progress on his 1953 Ariel Square Four which he bought as a wreck when he was 17 years old. He doesn't hesitate to 'borrow' one of my CX's whenever he visits though... My brother, I guess he's the only one of us who has 'grown up', he loves restoring old Kombi's, and has a shed full of them at his place up in Noosa.
So yes, no mention of an ST there, I'm in the process of looking at one at the moment, which is actually what led me to the forum! I'll post another thread about that soon, this one is already long enough!!
Thanks for having me guys (and gals), looking forward to becoming one of the family.
Cheers,
Steve
