G'day from the West
« on: March 04, 2014, 11:28:22 PM »
Hi All,

I have just purchased my ST1300. It is a blue 2004 with 65000k's on the clock. :blu13

I will be looking forward to catching up and ride with some other ST owners in the near future.

I will be looking forward to talking with other owners on this forum to.

It certainly has some very good information on here. ++

Cheers :beer

Greg

Good buying Ralph.
Now it's run in you can get her up to highway speed.
There's plenty of ST owners in WA keen for a ride.  You'll have to put up with a lot of whiteness, so take your sunglasses when you go out with them.
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

Hey Turtle,

Yes you are correct the guy did have health issues and it is very well looked after.

I paid $9500 so I think that's a far price for what it is. :blu13

Nice 2 have u on board Greg - welcome from the south coast of NSW's capital - the Gong.


There rn't enough Gregs in the world and if you're an uppity piece of shite like me you'll call yourself Gregory coz it sounds like we're intelligent and it's always a good idea to trick people like that. :rofl :thumbs   :whistle


Anyway m8 your STeed is a really cool blue and that was my goal 2 find but was persuaded 2 a red dragon 1300 instead and haven't looked back. And of course if you have a spare fortnight up your sleeve we r meeting at Ballarat on March 21 to celebrate a long ride on one of the best Sports Tourers ever made and meet and greet some of the characters of ozSTOC. It'll b farkling gr8!
