12/07/2018 Another Bike
« on: July 12, 2018, 02:29:46 PM »
Thanks to Heather we are now the owners of a 2004 Red ST1300A. Saw on Bike Sales last night and sent an enquiry. Cost $4,990, 71,200km. I rang the dealer this morning and bike was reduced from $6,990 as the owner who has cancer (I was told) just wanted it gone so must have been on consignment.

Flying over Tuesday afternoon (cheapest flight booked and paid) stay the night with my sis who will pick me up from the airport and take me down to the bike Wednesday morning. Two day ride back with an overnight stop somewhere along the way.

If this one is as good and as trouble free as my 1100A over the last 12 years then it should be the last bike I ever buy

Hi Alan Looks like the bike is at Southside Honda Mandurah Jay is a good guy and they used to service the St1300 Police bikes for the Southern Perth area so he knows his St1300  ++
Give me a call when you are in Mandurah if you want a place to stay, or if you want to catch up.

If you time it well you could do the border run from the west.

You are right Mitch

I won't have much free time but a quick meet up before I leave Perth would be ok. My sis is now at Wellard for my overnight stop.

Planned route through the city and can adjust to suit if needed. https://goo.gl/maps/LgqTcWBFATk

At the moment not much and in no particular order:-

Classic Towbar
Migsel GPS Mount
12 volt power supply
Cruise Control - maybe from this years grain harvest
 
 :think1 A rack for the pie warmer.........

The 1100 will still be the main ride and I'll use the 1300 for little old lady type rides on Sundays RTEs

Well done,  looks like a great bike.  Best colour too.  :Stirpot.  There is a set of risers on the site that could make it even more comfortable.

Well bought Alan, and I agree with Richo - best colour to get (with the added bonus that red bikes are faster). Look forward to catching up at a RTE.

You've scored a beauty, as the general consensus confirms.  It might have some hidden farkles, since I detect a smoky grey screen- maybe a power socket etc.  That's low kays, especially if it's been well looked after.  Its pristine cleanliness speaks well of its owner and preparation for sale.   :thumbs
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I thought the screen was a little dark compared to the new 1300 I looked at in 2009 - wonder how the Go Pro will go behind it.
