Black 1100 southbound on Ruthven St around 10.15am, 2up.   

Gave a wave, got a nod even though I was caged with family.

At a glance could have been Streak, but rider didn't have white helmet on.

Anyway, should also know you have one blown front headlight bulb.

Maroon 1300 travelling west on Narellan Rd about 9.50am yesterday.  I was going the other direction in my work car.

Spotted! Not an ST this time, but one of the Clubs big supporters Col Barn the owner of Esk Bakery here in Queensland (they have sponsored the national rally 2 years in a row, and always give us free coffee's everytime we have an event there), dropped into the Shop to say Hello, he is coming along to the Biloela Overnight Event in July  :thumb



Out of interest Esk Bakery is the venue where the OzSTOC State Shirt records where set last year....

Given my wife is seemingly indifferent to all things motorcycles, I was really impressed when she sent me an SMS on Friday saying she was parked next to a white ST1300 (Leach Hwy & North Lake Rd, Melville WA). She later said it was the familiar sound that first drew her attention, then instantly recognised it as the same bike that I ride.
:hatwave  :runyay

What impressed me far less... when discussing it in person later, she said it was "pretty" and liked that colour better than mine. She also said "it suited him because he was slim". :well  :cuss

Maybe I need to get a white Goldwing?

Wow!  That's an angle on ST spotting that I didn't see coming!  No, don't but a 'Wing.  Buy a gym club membership.   :rofl

Sadly no. She didn't have any cards, and wouldn't have been able to anyway due to that fact they were both at the lights. She now has cards though.  :hatwave

Oh God! Please don't let her see that!... She keeps suggesting I sell the elliptical trainer to help pay for the bike - I do promise that one day I'll get back on that... when I don't like riding the ST anymore!

Monday arvo, crossing south over the Walter Taylor bridge at Indro.  Blue 1300 in my mirrors.

Nicely set up with day LED daylighters on each side of the front shocks, and a mean looking set of spotties under each mirror.

A couple of aerials on the back end says this is a serious ST owner.  :clap :thumbs

No card delivered. Bit hard to reach over the back seat of the wagon and give him a card.  :||||

Think that was me, the colour is Archiles Black believe it or not, I think it is a bit of a chameleon just depends what light your see the bike in  :beer

Here's what I saw today.
Heading north on the Dennis Bridge over the Hastings River at Port Macquarie at 3.15pm was a maroon ST1300 with led drls attached under the mirrors.  The rider was wearing a hi vis vest.

With my bike off the road for the last week and a half with alternator issues, today at about 11.30am I saw two beautiful ST11's, a white in front and Bronze? behind, heading south along Alfords point road just past the bridge over the Georges River. I was on my LR Discovery heading north. I was Green with envy as almost two weeks off the saddle is too long.

Brothers......you were travelling with purpose......sorry I couldn't join you.......maybe next time.
