I've made an unhappy decision
« on: May 16, 2024, 08:07:56 PM »
It's been a difficult time, but have made the decision to sell my ST1300 as I have lost too much riding confidence, and have found the older I get the heavier the bike has become.
And arthritis hasn't helped either.

Sorry to hear, that day will come for all of us sometime 😢. Have you considered something lighter?
Cheers.

That is a nice looking bike, and it is a shame you can't enjoy it any more.

Where did the highway pegs come from, or they home made?
THERE ARE OLD RIDERS, AND THERE ARE BOLD RIDERS, BUT THERE ARE DAMN FEW OLD AND BOLD RIDERS.

Keep the dirty side down.

That was a consideration but I still would have had to negotiate city traffic. While I can ride ok on the open road, I would have had to watch the other 5 drivers - ones on either side, front and back, AND the idiot playing on their phone or day dreaming coming towards me 😱

Yep, made by a mate as I couldn’t afford MCL types
