Newbie - geraint.jones - 15-09-2020
Hi everyone, I’ve recently come back to riding after a 10 year break and got myself an St1300 05 plate, which has been quite a change from my HOG, but now I get to take the kids out with me.
Thanks for the add

Hi Geraint.
I'm just as new, but coincidentally just purchased (Monday) a 2001 ST1100 - which for me is a change from my Fireblades. Presently doing fluid changes and a 'once over' as it had suffered 3-years in not so dry storage. Bit of surface rust on disc carriers etc, and sign's of well-travelled front forks to be spruced up!!

Hi nigel, sounds like s bit of work. I’m not very mechanically minded, but I bought the bike from a friend’s father who I know looks after things. Just waiting for his regular mechanic to get back from holiday before sending her in for a check up. She only did 100 miles last year, and I’ve managed 500 in the last two weeks.
it’s definately different to what I’m used to, but enjoyable, especially for the kids (9 and 7) to sit and enjoy.
