New Member from Queensland
« on: May 16, 2013, 06:41:07 PM »
G'day all, I recently joined the group after reading the forums for a while. I'm from sunny and cold Queensland but have lived up and down the east coast over the years. I currently ride a 2004 build ST1300A, blue of course, and have made a few improvements with the aid of a couple of ram mounts.

I started off with a 250 Virago and jumped straight to a 95 ST1100P and rode solo to the GP at Phillip Island 6 weeks later. Sold the bike after a major knee reconstruction and though I would never ride again. Had to prove the doctors wrong. Next was a 2002 ST1100A which left with the change in personal circumstances. Now on the 13 and loving it. Ride to work in Brisbane most days and go for a group ride to Canberra in September each year. (Timing not my choice).

Had a great time at the RTE at Esk last month and looking forward to many more.

Yeah, had a blue '04 myself.  Needed a faster one, so got a red ST13 on a trade.

If you lurked for a while and still decided to join, then you qualify on the grounds of insanity.

Well, well, well - three holes in the ground.  I seem to remember a bloke named Sean sending me bloody annoying Emails at work making some outlandish accusations about my alter ego.  Was that you? 

Gidday SOD (Work nickname) u going to the wall again this year?  Have a contingent from up here already planning.  You will also meet some of the guys here on the ride also if they can get away. 

Now the fun starts...... :nahnah

Tackleberry,

It seems that you have me confused with another person. I have not heard that name or nickname before. I have been to visit the black dog but never went to wall, no thanks to my A******* of bosses. Never get over managements believe they are god. But still kicking, Never let the B******* get you down and out.

Never be embarrassed to have met the dog, the embarrasment is not asking for help. Not always easy, but always necessary.
