Title: New ST1300 Rider
Post by: Coop on October 27, 2018, 08:07:13 AM: Hi all, I've been riding for 16 odd years and have recently moved from sports bikes to a sports tourer for the wife and I to get away (might also have something to do with getting a bit old to ride a 1000cc sports bike for more than half an hour without looking like I'm crippled when I get off :-[ )

Recently bought an '05 ST1300 with 38,000kms, factory Honda radio and cruise control as well. Not a bad setup and very comfortable to ride.

I look forward to chatting with you all and maybe meeting up with some of you in person at a later stage.

Cheers,
Coop.

I'm originally from the south of Adelaide, so yeah, would be good to meet on a ride away. :thumbs

Post by: Biggles on October 27, 2018, 03:29:12 PM: Welcome Coop. You've chosen the right bike for two-up touring. Mrs Biggles and I have been in Tassie riding over 300 kays most days without any aches or pains. And she's not a real young chickie. My ST13 turned over 100 thou last week and has had nothing done to the donk, so yours should come up trumps soon.
