newbie from newy
« on: February 19, 2015, 12:47:31 PM »
Hi All
I'm Andrew and live in Newcastle.
I ride a 2010 St.
While on a ride at Christmas I was approched by two OzSTOC members in the  car park at Wollomombi Falls just outside of Armidale. Brent and Barry introduced themselves to me and gave me the club card. Funny thing was they were both driving cars. None the less I checked out your website and decided to join. Thanks for the opportunity and look forward to catching up on a ride soon.

We'll forgive Brent and Barry just this time for not being on their bikes, solely because they recruited you.   :grin
Welcome to the Forum.  Have a good look through the ST1300 sections- hundreds of posts there about the bike.
Ask any question and someone will come up with some sort of answer, sometimes helpful.
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
