Ok, I'm brand new here and just purchased a burgundy red ST1300A 2004 model.
It's coming up from Brissy and I anticipate its arrival after Easter here in Rocky.
Needless to say how excited I am.....

Just in case you're wondering: I got my nickname "wheelbarrow" coz nobody can pronounce my surname...
Cheers, George

Strewth mate, you only had to ask and I would have ridden it up tonight for you!
We're a helpful lot in here.
Welcome to the gang. Start a piggy bank for the OzSTOC Rally in Perth next March.

Hi George and welcome to OzSTOC from SA. I knew another chap nicknamed "Wheelbarrow" in the 1970's in Adelaide. He too had a surname which was a mouthful. Enjoy your '04.

Yesterday arvo my long awaited STeed arrived from Brissy. - 2004 red ST1300A - with 36k on the clock.
It's virtually in "as new" condition and a credit to the previous owner.
It has some nice add on's such as a radiator protector, Xenon lights, LED running lights, special seat, intercom, etc. Awesome machine!

I've been used to smaller bikes than this, therefore it will be a challenge for me. Steady as she goes! But I found out already on my first trip how nicely balanced she is, even at low speed.

hi wheelbarrow, looks like a sweet ride. Farkled and ready to go, plus red is best. Richo

Wild Rose · « **Reply #17 on:** April 20, 2015, 09:41:51 AM »

Looks good Wheelbarrow. Enjoy

G'day George and welcome from the 'Gong, NSW. GR8 buying there assuming u got it at a reasonable price, tho any amount of dosh is fair for a good STeed.
Also welcome to the Best Bred is Red elite of OZSTocracy.

BTW: Haven't seen those elbow rests on your topbox on any other STeed b4 and the kick guards on your panniers are a good option.

I have seen these armreSTs on a lot of ST 13's,

the ones that have Pillions regularly on the rides.

Comphy Pillions equals Happy Pillions.

Gregory you need to attend more

to see more fine FARKLING,
