We caught the bus from Adelaide to Bendigo on Sat 20th May 2006. The owner met us at the Railway station and took us to her home where the bike was located. After about an hour of having coffee and talking about the bike and signing over the rego papers we headed off to the caravan park for the night.

This is the first photo I took two days after getting it home and just after I transferred it to SA plates. Still looks as if it just came out the shop.....lol.

This was taken in Cairns on the day that I picked up my ST1300 on the day before Easter in 2009.   I was half way around Australia on my big lap, when the frame on my bike snapped.   I had it repaired and traded it in on the Honda ST1300 and haven't looked back.  The picture was taken in the caravan park where I was staying.

And I brought my 2004 ST1300 at the end of 2011...   


   

   


I went out to get Carrol a new helmet as I had broken the visor on her old one and thought it was time to replace the whole thing anyway.
We went to Team Moto Springwood and while we were there we had a test ride of a ’04 ST1300

Anyway to cut a long story short after a lot of wheeling and dealing I traded the ST1100 and my car and purchased a shiney blue ST1300  :runyay   :blu13  :runyay

So a trip to the bike shop for a helmet resulted in a new bike :grin and Carrol's helmet arrived in a couple of days (I did remember to get it  :p )


 :hatwave

Cheers
