Reg No ICZ212  with 91000 klms.
This one has the ABS and comes with the electrical adjustable windscreen.
Is the standard ignition system. It does not have the  special electronic and chipped ignition key system that is expensive to obtain spares etc. for .

on the clock and the tires are  new about 85 to 90 percent.
It runs and rides flawlesley
I have the origional log books.

Shannons agreed valuation for insurance is $13,000.00

I am asking only $10,000 ONO.

Both of these machines have been well maintained and apart from some very minor and easily repaired cosmetic blemishes   ( couple of small scratches) are in first class mechanical condition and nothing needs to be done or spent on them.
Cheers to all,
Winston66,
Ps. some photos willfollow as soon as I get a working camera.

Very sorry to hear that Winston66, wish I had the readies for the red one. Hope you can still ride the cruiser at least.

[Neale]

Sad to hear Winston.  Looks like some lucky person/s are going to get a couple of good bikes. Hope you are still riding. 

[saaz]

Soory to hear this. Hope they go to a good home.

[Marcus]

if you shift this into the Bikes for sale section you might get it more notice

[saaz]

I will move it

[bloodbikes]

sorry to hear the news winston, if i had the cash the white one would be gone, good luck 

 

[winston66]

Winston66, here

Thank you everyone for your interest and expressions of concern, I will sadly miss the ST's when they sell, I am secretly just hoping that only one will go, as I do enjoy the use of them so much,

 However The latest toy is now up and running. It is a Mazda MX5. and the turbo kit is fitted and working well, It just needs a little bit of tweaking in the ECU programming dept. to smooth  it out a little, I am working on that.
Cheers Winston66

Here is a couple of pics.

Hi Winston,

Sorry to her about the Arthritis. I think I'm getting it in the left shoulder but Mother Terese says its probably gout from drinking too much home brew! Hope your medicines ameliorate most of your symptoms but I agree with u that controlling a beaST at slow speeds demands quick reactions and arthritis does not allow that. I get severe cramps but am learning how  to contol them - compared to arthritis they r minor. 

There's a lot of good value there. I bought my 2003 ST1300 for $8000 and that was gr8 value coz it had  so many farkles pre-installed and I  am only now adding a few minor farkles that r  important to me (like powerlet, ram mirror) but yours has most of these plus electronic cruise control and a towbar!

There's a cupla grand's worth of xtras there alone.

And u have a trailer to sell as well. Someone is sure going  to get an amazing touring setup!

St George, report to the sin bin for one hour.

Charge is for using long hard to say words, to wit :-

ameliorate

[ST.George]

I m deeply inconsolable and irretrievably full of contrition for deeming to be the autonomous individual who has somehow ventured into the infinite abyss of confusion when a fellow homo sapien (myself) wishes to convey a semantic evaluation by way of appropriate utilisation of the Anglo Saxon lexicon to specifically describe my anguish at the fateful indisposition of a valued comrade individual who has by genetic improbability inherited an acute medical malady that alters his future possibilities of transportation.


Or, in other words, sh*t m8 - life sucks! 

[saaz]

Sad to hear Winston, but life has to go on. And the MX5 is not a bad change!  We might need an MX5 sub forum, with you, Barry and Marissa as main members...

[winston66]

St. George.
That was most salubrious of you.
I think that the situation dictates that I now go and partake of several drams of the obligatory brown liquid type of medicine , and then become perhaps, somewhat self indulgent and have a little guts up on the horizontal resting surface whilst watching some movies of the latest Moto Gp's.
Cheers , Winston66

[ST.George]

   Definitely 

[spanner]

That's an interesting single wheel trailer you have there. Is it road worthyand or registerable?

is it also for sale?

[winston66]

Hi spanner,
Re the single wheel trailer, attached should be another pic. or two, of the trailer.
It is still a work in progress and I am working on a little write up about it.
at the moment it is not registered and I am having to modify (remake) the hitch arrangement ,in order to overcome some inherent instability problems .(noticeable at speeds )above 60 Kph.
So unfortunately cannot sell at this time.Maybe in the future?
There was too much play in the rotational axis and the trailer wanted to oscilliate from side to side whilst under way , I originally used a  4 wheel drive 2000 Kg.poly block coupling it seemed ok. whilst cornering , but wanted to take over when travelling in a straight line.
So I am remaking it and utilizing instead, a drive shaft type of universal joint, and a vertically mounted reece type of hitch as the quick release  point .
Some more pics. are in my personal album thingie.
Cheers , Winston66

Winston,


Are you willing to sell "10  Optional over the mirror Police spotlight brackets and two 20 watt led running lights, these have not been wired in yet." separately?  If so, how much.  I want to be better prepared for the OzSTOC ss1600k.

[winston66]

 Winston66 here,
  This is a BUMP, I do not know what it means or how it works , but I have seen this said on other forums.
If anyone is interested I wish to thank everyone for their kind comments , and yes the two ST's are still here and for sale , unfortunately I have not been  able to  take the bikes for a blat around the block , Some 210 Klms. Via Kalbarri, for a month or so. But I have been there for a little ride in the MX5 since the younger version of myself finished the installation of the turbo kit and the special ECU to power it properly. I was a good outing and a very enjoyable picnic and I also managed to get a couple of very nice picture of a couple of 20 year old beach bunnies.
That is my news for the month.
Cheers .
Winston 66

cant help with the sale Winston.

The "Bump" Just brings the thread to the top of the unread list.

[winston66]

`Hi Brock,
Thanks for your interest etc.
Ps. I also believe that WHITE is the best.

I am serious, I'm after a pair of mirror police spotlight brackets for my ST1300.  What price would you accept?

P.S.  If what I heard at Far Ride is true, Lionel may be looking for another ST1300.

[winston66]

Hi Gadget (Gary),
Thanks for your interest, at the present time I really do not want to make a separate sale of the light brackets as they might be wanted by a prospective purchaser for one of the ST's.or by myself if one of the bikes does not sell.
However all may not be lost for you, One of my very handy young blokes has said that if there is enough interest expressed by other members etc. that he might be co hers ed into doing a production run of several sets for supply to those interested people.

               

If he makes a sample in the near future I will be posting some pictures and prices, so I hope that any interested parties can let me know of their interest so that I gauge any possible  future demand as to see if it is a worthwhile project for him.
Cheers,
Winston 66, Northampton

Fair enough.


Maybe worthwhile putting this as a topic and/or Poll.


Streak imported some and it cost him $160 odd including Freight.  Surely we can do them cheaper here. 

co hers ed = coerced. 

[Grumpy]

I made mine for about 3 hours time and a bit of welding using scrap lying around.
