Title: Hello from Rocky
Post by: Wheelbarrow on March 31, 2015, 05:34:26 PM

Ok, I'm brand new here and just purchased a burgundy red ST1300A 2004 model.
It's coming up from Brissy and  I anticipate its  arrival after Easter here in Rocky.
Needless to say how excited I am.....

Just in case you're wondering: I got my nickname "wheelbarrow" coz nobody can pronounce my surname...
Cheers, George

Strewth mate, you only had to ask and I would have ridden it up tonight for you!
We're a helpful lot in here.
Welcome to the gang.  Start a piggy bank for the OzSTOC Rally in Perth next March.

Hi George and welcome to OzSTOC from SA.   I knew another chap nicknamed "Wheelbarrow" in the 1970's in Adelaide.  He too had a surname which was a mouthful.  Enjoy your '04.   :hatwave

Title: My bike finally has arrived!
Post by: Wheelbarrow on April 20, 2015, 08:13:00 AM

Yesterday arvo my long awaited STeed arrived from Brissy. - 2004 red ST1300A - with 36k on the clock.
It's virtually in "as new" condition and a credit to the previous owner.
It has some nice add on's such as a radiator protector, Xenon lights, LED running lights, special seat, intercom, etc. Awesome machine!

I've been used to smaller bikes than this, therefore it will be a challenge for me. Steady as she goes! But I found out already on my first trip how nicely balanced she is, even at low speed.

G'day George and welcome from the 'Gong, NSW. GR8 buying there assuming u got it at a reasonable price, tho any amount of dosh is fair for a good STeed.
Also welcome to the Best Bred is Red elite of OZSTocracy.  :hatwave
BTW: Haven't seen those elbow rests on your topbox on any other STeed b4 and the kick guards on your panniers are a good option.

Hey George,

  Great to have you aboard. You have come to the right place for good, practical advice for your ST.

  Just a thought...  :think1 ... We are happy to do bed, shed & fed for members passing this way... & Mackay has some pretty good day-ride options...

All the best. John, Kate & Miss Scarlett   :rd13
