We'll done Marcus. Nice weather. The last time we went for a ride up that way you got 43 deg on your air temp gauge. Remember? Better this time mate.

saaz · « **Reply #55 on:** November 28, 2013, 04:44:32 PM »

I am out. After a few weeks of not riding I think a 1200kms day is a bit of an ask. I found 500kms testing me, so have to get some riding fitness in.

Sorry to hear Saaz, but we'll catch up again another time.

Hey guys, got a stupid question,

Is 34 to much air to put in tyres of bike when riding two up,
Bike is all ready for wee trip tomoz, lookin forward to seeing you guys.

Normal pressures are at least 36psi front 42psi rear. You can run a bit more front and rear when loaded or 2 up. On the ST1300 many run 38 to 40 psi front and 42 to 45 psi rear.

Thanks sazz,
I was just reading up on it from some other site, that's a bit of a shocker, as for years on other bikes and cars I always put 32 in them. Got tyres on the wife's car and they put 36 in them, and that's what made me think, so just to make sure, I thought I would ask the people that know,
Thanks again mate.

Diesel and I have landed and we are on our way!

Breharna · « **Reply #61 on:** November 30, 2013, 05:23:27 PM »

Well, what a nice day. Great weather (thanks Marcus for arranging the sun) met a couple of our Visitors from north, nice to meet you Streak and Diesel. Great turn out, new people met and some very nice bikes. Perfect.

Some ST's

Some more ST's

Oh yeah and a Kawasaki. (Ha ha)

Williamson · « **Reply #62 on:** November 30, 2013, 07:28:42 PM »

Thanks to all for organising today's RTE, it's always good to meet new people, especially when they are so friendly, and it's good to be able to put some faces with OzSTOC Forum names.

Here's few pics from me:

My ST1300 (Martin's Kwaka 1400 GTR behind, where it should be):

Half a V4:

The other half was just down the road:

Blackwood:

Pub is at the red dot at point of arrow.

That patch of oil under the Mighty ST? Checked it at Martin's driveway after an hour's ride and then another hour - no more oil. Checked at home again - no oil. Will still let Mr Honda know on Monday, and book it in for a professional check. That's what warranties are for!

Very Good !

Looks like you all had a great day

Hendo · « **Reply #64 on:** November 30, 2013, 08:40:19 PM »

Had a great day. Thanks to all there for the company.
Heres my view of the day...

Streak · « **Reply #65 on:** December 01, 2013, 07:38:45 AM »

Well it has been an awesome weekend, but it is time for Diesel and Streak return home, we are boarding the jet plane back to Brisbane after an awesome drive in country Victoria!

Report to follow

Marcus · « **Reply #66 on:** December 01, 2013, 10:02:46 AM »

Just woke up... thanks for a great day guys.

Was great to see so many Vics in one place

I need to remember to take photos haha

Breharna · « **Reply #67 on:** December 01, 2013, 04:15:03 PM »

That's either a bad selfie or your looking a bit hung over Graham?

Maybe your just sad to be leaving this tropical paradise called Victoria.

Good to catch up and thanks for the effort in coming down in between your other commitments.

Hi all, thanks for your company. It was a good ride over and the weather was great for travelling. stinky Pete was able to impart some great knowledge about seat adjustment that made the trip even better. We took in the great ocean road on the way back, no dramas at all except for the drivers who do not realise that they are the slow driver who need to pull over. I will try and get together a ride report as this was my first long distance ride. Traveling with a harley with a fuel range of 150km is great for rest stops but it is hard to find a harley rider who will travel without mechanical support!
Cheers. RICHO.

Marcus · « **Reply #69 on:** December 02, 2013, 06:47:12 PM »

Great to meet you Richo, and It sounds like you had a wonderful ride home again.

marx · « **Reply #70 on:** December 24, 2013, 07:10:02 AM »

Thanks guys it was a great day. Good country pub and friendly people.
Hadn't been to this area of Victoria for ages.
I used to spend a fair amount of time horse riding in this area. Always good to put faces to names.
Thanks for the support over the last year. It has been great.
Have a great Christmas with family and enjoy the new year.
regards,
marx
