Future riding plans/bike ?????
-
No plans at the moment.
Need a resolution which may be some time away.
Left shoulder is currently good although a bone shaving could be on the cards down the track.
The specialist thinks the right one is heading down the track of going frozen.
Then there is the nerves in both elbows starting to roll out of the joints.
-
So sorry to hear that health issues have put your riding on the back burner. I hope you can get back in the saddle again in the not too distant future.

:dred11
STimpy I'll swap my vulva for it,, oops that's Volvo... :grin
:eek :cuss :spank :butt :nahnah :OldMan :rofl :crackup
sorry to hear about your dicky knee,, oh shoulder :spank
-
Don't mention Knees Johnny :p
When i was doing my physical to use the work gym last week for physical strengthening...well you just have to laugh don't you.
Thanks Pete.I guess it's a lesson in getting older and falling apart.
Hopefully we can get back to touring sooner rather than later.
-
Sorry to hear this news STimpy, but we may still ride to or from a Nat Rally in the future, even if both of us are on a mobility scooters.
Good luck with the sale.
-
Sorry to hear that Duncan but I may not be far behind you. Extremely painful neck and right shoulder have prevented me from doing much riding since Perth last year. Still undergoing treatment . . Probably caused by whiplash in a car incident in 1965, a passenger in a Triumph Herald hit from behind at high speed.
Might be driving to RTE's in the future . . . 😥
-
That's doesn't sound good Terry ! The folly of youth returning to haunt.
I went to a proper Physiotherapist yesterday only to be told i had a lot of tension in my neck shoulders and back which i hadn't realised.
Had acupuncture,a physio session then got trussed up like a turkey with race tape.
Not pretty :fp
-
Very sad news mate :'( :'( :'(
Can you still drive?

The MC cruise that lost its mojo after a tyre change is a common problem. The tyre changer has increased the gap bretween the pick-up and the hub magnets. squeeze the arm towards the wheel to get a 2mm gap and you'll have a functioning MC again. Then you can forget about selling it! |-i
It's a fantastic set-up. I envy any buyer, especially at the price. I'm leery of high kays, but not in this case.
-
Oh- and are the advert pictures for a touring company or a bike sale?? :p
-
I had Brian ( Farkleit) service the cruise in May. I expect it will be a simple fix as you suggested Biggles but I have not gotten around getting on the ground to give it a look over yet.
A great bike Maketh for great touring pictures as we all know ;-*
-
Extra extra bits : standard windscreen
orange indicators(replaced with clear jobbies)
towbar(frame)minus the top brackets(under seat)towball & electrics
radiator hoses(from the silver 03) 1 new,1 used

spare new left side tip over cover

The MC cruise is now going gang busters.
As Biggles suggested it was just a matter of tickling the sensor back within magnet reading tolerance :thumbsup

This post just appeared in my news feed for the first time - Thats the second post this week that popped up with heaps of replies but its the first time I had seen them Wot thuh
Bugga Stimpy - Sounds like you and Stroppy should have used the other arm a few times to reduce the wear and tear :whistle ;-* :grin
That bike should be a nice pickup for someone :-)

Ian(Beatup)seems to think it was from the recent regular visits to the craft brewery not far from home as the crow flies.That would be a much more enjoyable way to have obtained the injuries but alas it's just repetitive heavy lifting
(again not from the :beer)

Geez Duncan I don't log on for a bit & read this! What's going on man for goodness sake your housemate is dating a doctor there must be something can be done for when a man parts with his bike he is never the same - just ask my wife she actually bought me a bike (Suzi Gixxer) many years ago because I was becoming unbearable to live with without 2 wheels. Anyway I have had 2 shoulder reconstructions the first also involved a bone scrape, a couple of tendon reattachments etc. the after pain was without understating it somewhat severe but in a few short months I was riding again. It must be past time we dropped around with a couple odf good reds for a chat?
All the best Mate :blu13
-
Hey Mike,hard to consult the doctor when the surgery is in Vanuatu :grin
I think to some degree by multiple parties involved(local gp,insurer,1st physio provider) there has been mis-steps made.
My employer has a new return to work specialist (ex paramedic) that has really put things on the right track but we now have issues with both shoulders/both ulnar nerves and today's results from yesterday's MRI found C6/C7 inflammation just for something different (though not the cause of the ulnar disruption).
Catch up for a red soon :hatwave

Will consider swap for mid to large size registered 4wd of similar value
- Hilux Landcruiser Maverick Rocky etc .
Left knee starting to play up,the nag is one hobbled step closer to the glue factory :grin

If it ain't exploded by now, you have one of (the perhaps) the good ones.

It has been looked after well and not abused. Most exploded either diff or transmission from towing heavy loads. I have an XLT fitted with a cargo barrier and it also has 2 spares.
Never had a problem with it.
-
Price reduced to $7777.
Not a single response from Gumtree after 6 weeks apart from Mr Franks regarding the smuggler which i will happily part with after the bike sells.STill spending money on it.
I will probably get it professionally cleaned & detailed prior to NatRally as i can't do it myself.
-
Hey STimpy :thumbs ,
I have to say that the longer I see your bike the closer I get to making the jump. :phone I have even spoken to SWAMBO about it. Problem is that I don't want to get rid of the 11 although placing the 11 on club plates might be a solution. (I am paying a fortune already in regos and insurances for the whole family as it is, bloody kids) Then there'd be two STeeds and Batgirl (2015 GL1800B) in the stable.
Ooooh the conundrum. :think1
-
She is a fine mistress Ruben,one which i'm reluctant to give up.
I was hoping for a conclusive decision from my specialist appointment today in the direction of surgery &/or career retraining but i left with referrals for ultrasound scans & peripheral nerve studies to be done on both elbows instead which leaves me with unresolved shoulder tendonitis x 2 and a partially frozen shoulder STill up in the air as well.
She is STill a joy to ride albeit in a manner unfitting of a long distance STeed.
I think we are both in need of a long rambling adventure !
The order from Partzilla arrived yesterday and she now has a new & unstained left pie warmer lid,a brace of new mirror cover spring washers and some rubber fork top caps.
See you at Wooli :grin
-
One offer of $6500 max.
She is going in for a major service next week in time for the huge trip to Wooli :fp
-
Major service done,now has a 139db STebel air horn and STill no takers.
Posted another ad on Gumtree,don't see the point in throwing away money on Bikesales :o
-
Just had a peek at the ad. Gee, awesome looking bike. They don't know what they are passing up. Hope you find a taker for it soon.
-
Price drop to $6500 minus the Corbin Smuggler....
-
STimpy, I'm actually tempted as mine now has 175,000km on the clock and still going strong, but the RDL and the MCCruise, as well as the low mileage make your bike very attractive. At this stage I'm very reluctant to spend the dollars I would need to for an RDL and MCCruise for mine, on a bike that in all probability is worth no more than $3,000, to someone else anyway. Too bad it's not RED which would just about have me going to the Home Financial Manager on my "I need replacement bike honey" knees. :crackup
I've registered for a test ride of the 2018 GoldWing, but figure I'll never be able to afford it.
-
Your faithful STeed had plenty of life left yet Pete !
If i am put out to paSTure in time, i will be joining JYT,STroppy & Marion/PC for a tour of Tasmania in March...but reality tells me that it will not be on the bike sadly.
Keeping it just for short rides seems like it's doing it no juSTice but i'm happy to keep on keeping on until it sells.
My next choice of Steed would make Gadget happy at least ;-*
-
It's a great price, but SWMBO says No.
I'm guessing the next steed will get the spidey sense tingling.

I agree. Compression is still right up there, and valve clearances have been checked on schedule and have never needed adjusting. Fluids have always been regularly changed. She has new swing arm bearings, UV joint in the drive shaft, and now a new final drive and should be good for ages. I still get a bit excited every time I climb aboard. :grin

I wouldn't be so sure. I wonder if a three-wheeled machine (with just 1 at the rear) that requires a helmet and bike licence might be hinted at? I don't think he's especially a fan of Peter Parker.

Yes Biggles, Gadget was referring to a 3 wheeled abomination.
He also knows i hate them with a passion :grin

Knowing you love affair with VDubs, that suggests one of those trikey thingeys with a blatting engine. :-(((
You're gonna need to find a new club... :whistle

More likely this one around retirement time, or the latest model.

After being overwhelmed with inquiries and (1) actual test ride it's safe to say i will be keeping Big Blue for the foreseeable future.
-
Both bad news :'( and good news mate :thumbsup
But I'm sure (now that you are keeping Big Blue) that you'll have a great time continuing riding around (even if only short distances) :thumb
And one of these days the docs may even fix you up to the point that you can ride without pain :runyay
-
Is Tassie still on the radar?

I have received 2 inquiries this morning - 1 of which has organised a test ride on sunday,the other a possible inspection after travelling from the sunshine coast mid next week.
As i had already organised an oil/filter and pad change over tuesday/wednesday i also obtained a Roadworthy today while it was there picking her up.
It remains to be seen if anyone will actually turn up &/or buy the thing.
I have no resolution to the now 4 or possibly 5 upper body injuries
(the C spine is contentious)
I may get a payout by the time Tassie rolls around or i may still be biding my time at the insurance/employers leisure. Everything is an unknown factor.
On the positive side i am walking around 10 kms a day at work. As for riding i'm good for about 45 mins with the aid of cruise. Not ideal.
If it comes to it i may well fly down for a few days and catch up in a hire car :grin
-
No Joy after 3 enquiries over Jan 31/Feb 1st.
The inspection/test ride was cancelled sunday morning after he test rode a 13 at a dealership. Too heavy and unmaneuverable apparently.
After exchanging messages from someone in N.S.W asking dumb questions about the bike (the ad is VERY detailed)insulting the price and then informing me he was going to test ride other bikes around sydney then get back to me.
I informed him i would not sell it to him. :cuss wit
If it does not sell by the time the roadworthy time/kilometers are up then i will keep her.

I dont underSTand that! I find the ST1300 feels light and nimble, and I find it very manouverable. Maybe Jackson should teST ride an 1100 so he can see the difference. On his FB profile he has dirt bike pics maybe he hasnt ridden a roadbike before.

It could also be that the Dealership's bike had under inflated tyres?
(I have had work done at dealerships and when I got the bike back found the tyres between 36 to 38 psi :eek)

Same here, but worse. I recall first stop when test riding the Mighty CB1300 (back in 2008), was the servo in Whittlesea township where I upped the pressures from around 20psi to the recommended 38 / 42 (from memory).
Mmmmmm ............. much better.

I bought my ST1300 brand new in 2009 and had never owned or ridden a bike of that size and weight. The dealer delivered it to me with 20 psi in the tyres. :eek I suspect that this was the pressure from when the bike was delivered to them in the crate, and the pre-delivery check before I took it was done by a muppet, if it was done at all. It handled like shit, wallowed and had a tendancy to wash out the front in the corners. Once the pressure was corrected, it went like it was on rails.
-
After 7 months and 2 weeks with only 1 test ride it looks like i will be keeping big blue.
-
It probably needs to feel loved now . . A trip to Tassie would do it!
-
This morning i waved Big blue goodbye >:()
The STeed has been sold to Craig from Toowoomba who should be joining the forum in due course meaning we will still get to see big blue at RTE's and National Rallies :runyay
Recent developments in my injury claim will more than likely set in motion the involvement of professionals to sort out some liability aspects recently denied by the insurance company. Suffice to say no surgery will be done in the foreseeable future.
I am soon to be hurtled out the workplace door for "redeployment" quickly followed by an enormous shitfight :fp
-
Congrats on the sale mate :thumbsup
Sad to see it go :'(
But it's good to hear that big blue will still be showing up to RTE's :thumbs
-
As i will soon be un-gainfully "redeployed", i will be showing up to RTE's too :hatwave
-
Craig has most certainly had his fair share of STruggles lately so i am very glad that he will be getting better and enjoying life more with a little help from Big Blue.
I could not be happier as a reluctant seller knowing that it could not have gone to a nicer more deserving purchaser.

Pleased you've made a good sale.
