STranger has a STablemate STrangler
« on: July 23, 2017, 07:06:03 PM »
  :dred11  :blk13
Well I cant contain my excitement any longer. :grin Stranger has a new STablemate to share the garage with. :runyay I had to make room (clean-up) and turn the carpet across the width, juST so they both could reST on wool inSTead of concrete.
Over a week ago I was offered a deal I couldn't resiST and as I had the finances needed  :whistle I accepted to take possession of a NH124M-U Charcoal with green and silver flakes ST1300A8  :blk13 .fitted with Oxford Grips.. 90,900ish k's It is in priSTine condition and a compliment to his previous owner, Dallas aka Chops. It was delivered on Friday giving Dallas a good laST ride to bring him to Picton.
so with much ado let me introduce you all to STrangler, the lateST addition to my vehicles.. to join Vulva, my Volvo and STranger who needs no introductions at all. I also have my dead Hyundai, sitting in the yard  :eek
I have already STarted on farkle-ing, STrangler, fitting him with (1) 12v power lead for my new Zarkie heated riding gear,gloves,jacket liner and soon to be delivered pant liner and insoles, (2) a RAM brake fluid cover mount for my phone. When I can buy over mirror Police mounts I'll be fitting  60w LED driving lights and (4) 12v accessory 2 usb.the wiring harness's are in place, thanx Abe. :thumb.. I will also source a sheepskin seat cover and purchase an Omni cruise throttle lock..
I have got my new bike a new CTP and Comprehensive policy and have booked in for a BLUE slip to change the rego from ACT to NSW, something I had to do to get insurance, also to comply with legal requirement so as not to have to pay the government a penalty...  o:)
I'm going on the Border Run in 2 weeks,room booked and from there back to Port AuguSTa,o/n then Coober Pedy o/n onto Alice Springs o/n and onto Darwin where the wonderwoman Wendy has offered me a bed shed and fed for a few days, it will then be decided whether I then travel across to Townsville and Mackay for a few days with my favourite cousin before heading down to Gympie, my old STomping grounds and then meander back home OR leave Darwin and do an IBA Centreline STraight down to Port AuguSTa  and continue down to GOR  and round the coast back up to home.
 :think1 I have decided to take STranger on this 10k> 12k kilometre trip. Why you may ask I'm not taking STrangler ST1300?, well given the amount of animal encounters along the way if,touch wood, I do become unSTuck, at leaST I'll have a new STeed awaiting at home to mount when any broken bones or other injury has healed.  :thumbsup I'll be keeping STranger if we both make it home from this journey.

Good to read of your big travel plans.  Good idea to run up the big kays on the older bike while ever it's reliable.
You already knew the ST13s are a nice ride, but great that you now have one in the shed permanently.
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

... it will then be decided whether I then travel across to Townsville and Mackay for a few days with my favourite cousin....

hey Johnny... if you head our way, i'm off-shift from Tuesday to Friday (15 - 18 Aug 2017) and Miss Scarlett's always up for a ride... outside of these days, i'm on-shift, but Kate and I could still manage a get together of some kind... if you don't head our way, we'll be sure to see you with STanger or STangler, at Wooli... Cheers, John & Kate.

great news... look forward to a ride, or three... may be best to put Kate's number (0428 906030) in your phone, as my phone use is *limited* whilst on-shift... be sure to flick us a text when you're closer to knowing what you're up to. John

Today I finalised my ownership of the STrangler with RMS NSW. He easily passed the blue slip and I had already organised CTP not long after Dallas dropped him off to me.
He is now registered in NSW his plate is Black on White CFA 80. He is officially mine with all Government requirements met and paid.
I have ordered a few bits from Partzilla, over mirror mounts and bolts, fuel filter and washers/gaskets needed.
On looking at Partzilla I discovered that they have "NO LONGER AVAILABLE" on the wind deflectors for Mirrors and side leg cowlings. so I will look at David Silvers to see if available there.
