Do you have a pair of ST1300 seats to sell or giveaway?
In addition to countless farkles, for my duck's disease statue, I have had a pair of custom cut-down leather seats by John Moorhouse since my 1st (2003) ST1300, with these seats now on my 2008 ST1300. I don't do many miles, and no long trips anymore. This 2nd ST of mine only has 59,000km on the clock. As I am nearing 65 and find the bike getting too heavy for me, I have been thinking of selling it. One alternative I was looking at was a tricked-up MT09 but that is now delayed.....
In January, I had a roller skating accident that resulted in serious fractures to my ankle (and fibula), which needed surgery for 3 screws and a wire. My cast came off Monday last and I now have a moon boot for the next 3 months. Then in June or July I will have these screws etc removed to give me back my full ankle movement; then more recovery and lots more physio and exercises. At my initial physio assessment yesterday, I was told I would not gain full use of my ankle until late in the year, December? So no roller skating and no riding for the rest of 2022.
The injury has me reassessing my attitude to risk. My ST is parked in my garage on trickle charge and it will be for too long. I would like a nearby neighbour I trust to take it out for a run, but he is very tall. It will be difficult for a taller person to comfortably take the bike for a run, let alone a test ride. Hence I thought I should acquire a second seat. Can anyone help?
Cheers
John
