Hello from Williamson in St Helena, Victoria
« on: August 01, 2013, 09:26:15 PM »
Hi Guys and Gals, Williamson here.

I'm just about to add a brand spanking new (well 2011 build, first registered tomorrow) black Honda ST1300A to my stable. 

The stable currently contains a tired Honda CB1300, a 250 Piaggio scooter and a wrecked Kawasaki GPX250, but can't wait until tomorrow, and the weekend to go for a ride - I hope it doesn't rain too much!
Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

Thanks again.   Mmmmm, Ballarat late March, 2014?   I'll put that in my calendar, I think I'll be able to squeeze that in between the two weeks already planned in Tassie and then another two weeks in NZ.

Sounds like you got one of the last ST13s Honda will ever build.
You'll love it.  Good that you found the Forum.  Enjoy.
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

Thanks again to all.

Sounds like you got one of the last ST13s Honda will ever build.

Yep!  A couple of dealers told me that there weren't any left.  It took a bit of finding, but I found it.  Even got the big discount too!  I hope no too many of our forum friends got burnt recently with the previous price.


.......... your avatar has gone to sleep, how can I wake her up?

She's bit more active on a couple of other forums, I'm not sure what's happened here, perhaps she thinks this is a higher-class forum.
