Thanks to all for the Birthday wishes, it's very much appreciated. I've celebrated well, a lunch on Friday with some old work colleagues, dinner with my wife, lunch, then lunch again on Saturday with our OzSTOC colleagues, and then another dinner tonight. One year older and 10kg heavier, an eBike ride tomorrow to work some of the excess off.
Today was a sad day, I said goodbye to my last ST1300. the one I bought new in 2013, after 90,000km it served me well.
It has been replaced with a CFMoto 700 GLX Adventure, which at around 130kg it will serve me for many, many years to come, although I don't expect another 13 years.
Thanks, yes a Beautiful Land, and IMO, the Best. Which leads me to - when are some of guys coming for a holiday? Currently, a very favourable exchange rate, it'll cost you almost nothing. Previous suggestions have fallen on the deaf ears of me old mate @ToddC, so how about everyone else - although, not all at the same time.
