My ST has just gone up on Bikesales.

http://www.bikesales.com.au/dealer/OAG-AD-12709788/2009-Honda-ST1300-ABS/?cr=0&psq=%28%28%28Make%3D%5BHonda%5D%26Model%3D%5BST1300%20ABS%5D%29%26%28%28%28%28SiloType%3D%5BBrand%20new%20bikes%20available%5D%7CSiloType%3D%5BBrand%20new%20bikes%20in%20stock%5D%29%7CSiloType%3D%5BDemo%20%26%20near%20new%20bikes%5D%29%7CSiloType%3D%5BDealer%20used%20bikes%5D%29%7CSiloType%3D%5BPrivate%20used%20bikes%5D%29%29%26Service%3D%5BBikesales%5D%29&pso=0&pss=Premium

They gave me $3700.  They are planning to almost double their money!    :eek

And yes, Brian, it was me who put that shine on it.    :p

The weird part is, they don't mention the fact it has a cruise control, heated grips and Stebel airhorn.  I would think they set it apart from a bike that has none of those extras.

Doesn't look like the same bike I saw in Peterborough a few weeks ago.

No- the lights, sheepie and tank cover are gone, to name the obvious ones.  Without the tank cover, the unmarked tank is revealed, ditto the seats.
You're right, Sicman, the CC and heated grips are obvious in the photo, to anyone like us who knows what the controls are.
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 also note it's in their showroom in the featured Used Bike location, not out in the weather with all the lesser bikes.     :nahnah

 :think1 So does the For Sale section on the OzSToc webpage need a refurbish to make it more visible?

I rode out for breakfast thinking it would burn off with the sunrise.
All my gear is now spread out on the rack in the garage.
It only got heavier as the morning progressed...   :'(

The V-Strom doesn't afford as much weather protection as the ST or Wing, I found.    :eek

So that's why they're classed as "adventure" bikes!

If I'd known that was the qualification...    :-[

I'm suspecting a white one is in the wings. (Pardon the deliberate pun)

Speaking of Wings...  anyone here with some loose change like to be the next OZSTOC proud owner of this beauty?







Have you had any takers on the wing ?

Had three enquiries.  One from WA!  Lost two because of the gouges underneath the engine.

I'm looking at this option -  50/20 Mbps 100 GB $60.00/mth which is about 4 times our current ADSL speed. Same monthly GB allowance we are now on. For an extra $10 we can add the phone as well. For another $5 a month I can up it to 300GB a month.

Another option is $70 a month and double the speed to 100/40 Mbps plus $10 for the phone - still $10 cheaper than our current bundled plan.

That's the best of the current available plans from our ISP https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/nbn/fibre/plans-and-pricing/ which have changed since the last time I looked a few months ago.
Late to the party but.

Take a look at https://nbnsp.com.au/
I'm going through them for my ADSL2+
$60 per month unlimited
they are a small one man operation out of Tasmania, He is good to deal with. I've been with him for a year now with 0 issues

May as well dismiss what I wrote above as it's all changed and probably change again by the time we get the NBN.

Though the NBN wireless has been switched on for outside the town built up boundary. Our house though is in line of sight of the tower but we have to wait for the FTTN service to be done; by end of June/July if all goes well.

I feel like emailing them and asking if I can settle this indiscretion out of court with a credit card payment or something!
