Man, I want some of those tyres

Easily done. Shinko Verge in ST1300 sizes, from Jakewilson.  Last time I got a few sets in worked out at $220 a set (to hit the sweet spot for shipping).  I only got about 17,000kms out of my set, but the best I have ever got for tyres that work in all conditions.  10,000kms is my norm for most others.

my oe tyres Bridgestone 14000  (2) set Michelin so far speedo at 31684 hope to do 2300 more ????????????

Michelin PR2s supposedly work and wear well, so quite likely they will go that far. I have a set on at the moment but only 5000kms on them, but ride and grip very well.  But cost about 40% more than the shinkos, so they will have to make records!

I'm sorry but l have just picked up on this thread and it was only after l spotted the introductory pic it dawned on me, that's Lionel. Good to see John looking after you

Have you finally put away your pencil n paper and fully retired yet? I have. Anyway I will try and make an effort and head up to your neck of the woods hopefully in the later half of the year as I have a bit on my plate at present. In the mean time great to read you have finally pensioned off that old worn out white bike and hope that the 1300 serves you as well. Maybe l will try for the Snowy Ride again, but it will be difficult.

Cheers for now and again tis good to hear from you.

Dick, Lionel has pensioned off the first white ST (220,000kms or so), the second one is still operational with a new timing belt (only changed 60,000kms over the recommended interval at 200,000kms) but that is for another post) and the ST13 is still to be fully made operational (like a battlestar really).  Perhaps no snowyride this year so keep the time open for something else....

Hi Dick,
It’s been a long time.
I’ve been involved mainly with FarRiders over the last few years.
I retired in Dec 12 and now have more time to do some rides with this group.
I hope to donate at least one of my ST1100Ps to the Australian Motorcycle Museum at Nabiac.
I also want to do the Snowy ride again the year – will probably stay in Jindabyne. It clashes with a FarRide but the Snowy Ride takes precedence with me, as the funds raised go to research into children’s cancer.
Cheers,
Lionel
