Saw good deal on bike that had been sitting at dealers for years and never sold. Eventually mechanic that worked there bought it and used it for commuting. I picked it up couple weekends ago and have been riding almost daily!
2006 ST1300PA !!!
Unlike my previous one that was worn-out and beat up, this one was never deployed as cop bike and is pristine with only 18K-miles!
Last weekend, I changed out 2-Bros mufflers and put factory ones back on. Aahhh... so much better! No more headaches after 30-minute ride. I must be getting OLD! Preferring civilised exhausts over loud pipes!!!
It came with all sorts of factory extras that was never put on:
- rear sub-frame for moto-cop version, has additional mounts for...
- radio platform
- rear seat cowl
- shotgun holster
- extra bodywork
- factory mufflers (any one want 2-Bros mufflers?)
- rear crash-bar cage, which I'll leave off, looks too ungainly and added-on. I'm not worried about getting rear-ended anyway.
Went for ride at crack of dawn to beat the heat!
Only 88F at top of hill!!
My ice-cubes didn't last long... need to get insulated ice-chest...
Stopped off for breakfast on way back. It was 117F at bottom!!!!
