How did you get your nickname?

Brucey,

Welcome!

The RTE on the 8th, Mooloolah Cafe is the destination. How you get there is up to you.

Closer to the date, someone might put up a meeting point for the ride there. I'll probably head up Old Gympie Road all the way to Landsborough and then up Tunnel Ridge Rd to Mooloolah or I might go via Woodford and Peacheaster on the way there and come back via Gympie Rd.

Once there, it is not uncommon for small groups of people heading in the same rough home direction (sometimes even the long detour home) to ride together.

As a lunch RTE, the long road there and short one home is not uncommon, unless your name is saaz.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting you Sat week.

Potentially, but only when referred to as a ranga 

[Biggles]

Oh no- they're everywhere!!   

[Sicman]

Yes Biggles not Ranga - Coppertop is more appropriate for the ladies  ( not in trouble as already left the building stage left even    )

Hi I'm Jozen!

Called myself that on account of my proper name being Joe and Zen on account of that classic book on motorcycle travel and the journey, both inner and outer, that bikes takes us on...Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I love my bike, and have clocked up nowhere near as many miles as I would have liked to by now...but I'm still working on it!

Leave you with a story...riding back from Esperance, WA with a group of mates on you beaut sports bikes when the sun disappeared and the rain kicked in. We still kept up the pace (a little over the recommended speed limit!) but when we arrived in Albany there was a bunch of drowned kittens on sporties, and one guiltily dry and quite untired ST owner on another! Could have ridden for another 6 hours no worries!!

They are great bikes that attract great bike enthusiasts! Look forward to seeing you at the National Rally in WA in March!!

cheers

Hi I joined this club, so i could ride, which is what i love doing.!!!!!
Got the bug from my father at 16 yo. He used to race at Roley park speedway (dirt track then) on a Ariel Square four 
I moved to Queensland in 2001, driving a Holden VR Caprice, Number plate "Draco7" from the movie "Dragonheart" once here as we have to do I had to change my plates to QLD plates, in Adelaide that plate was $306.00 for 1 year, so i asked to have the same plate BUT in a Qld plate (shock horror) 1 year cost $1,200.00.
Thus i liked the nickname "Draco" but with a 7 attached

[Biggles]

so i asked to have the same plate BUT in a Qld plate (shock horror) 1 year cost $1,200.00.

Good riding heritage.

It might cost $1200 here in Paradise, but it's yours for life- a one off payment.
After 4 years, you're ahead of the SA cost.

Personal plates in WA, range from 200 to 1500 $, but its yours. afetr purchase, normal rego fees apply

Unless you change the letter/number combination from bike plates to car plates, then they want the old ones back, in case someone steals them from your home and attaches then to another bike.

Welcome DRACO, sure you will enjoy what OZSTOC has to offer.
Plenty of friendly banter, the imparting of many years riding, eating, drinking and adding to their farkle list.
Lots of help if needed or requested.

Don't think that's it but just another grab for cash as when you sell the vehicle as your gonna swap the plates back over anyway (another fee in SA).

Plates can be stolen while your vehicle is parked anywhere which happened to one of my cars. Made the report to the police after I finished work and got the plates back after a week or two. They were found about half a k away from where we parked our cars for work.

Hi all

Mr2u is self appointed after a line  in a movie (Cant remember what movie now) as all my childhood nicknames id'e rather forget.

The Guy turned and said "And that's Mister! to you",  after being addressed by just his surname.

I call my ST1300 MRE as in Mister E or Mystery due to the fact that it has no badges or markings on it and is wrapped in Carbon Fibre, very mysterious looking.

I'd love to see a photo, of what is clearly an unusual looking ST.   

[mr2u]

Its a work in progress



The Bubble on the Tank and above the shoulder have since been fixed as well as a few others



and the shiny side

[StinkyPete]

That's pretty special and a very distinctive look.   

[Shiney]

AWESOME 

[Brian]

AWESOME 

Yes?

[Shiney]

AWESOME 

Yes?

ORSM, don't you think the ST wrapped in Carbon Fiber is AWESOME 

[Brian]

But it's not shiney.......Shiney!!

[Kev Murphy]

Looks great!

[mr2u]

My recommendation would be to use a quality Wrap, Like 3M and not the Cheap stuff like i did. You will get a much better Finnish and Result.

This was just a "proof of concept" for me and i will be doing it again in 3M.

3M is about 4 time more $$.   

My total for materials was only about $60, Used about 4m x 1.5m of Wrap,  and about 4 or 5 hours all up in time.

[Forrest]

I received my nickname because everybody always pissed off and left me alone in strange and scary places . So I reminded them that when Forrest Gump was alone in the jungle he said it was a very bad thing, as soon as the words left my mouth I tried to suck them back in ,to late Forrest it is.
