When Coming to OZ?

[Williamson]

I currently have an ST1300 surplus to my needs. It's been on-the-market for a coupla months, but hasn't sold - as yet. The market in OZ is currently difficult for sellers, I could drop the price, have been offered AU$3500, approx. CA$3200 / UK£1800 / US$2400, which in my view is way to low for a 2011 model that done only 69,000km. I think I'll keep it for a while, wait for the market to heat up.

In the meantime, it available for short or long term loan for anyone wanting to ride an ST1300 when visiting Australia. Apart from covering the cost of a service or two, perhaps some new tyres (depends on km travelled), and what will be a nominal insurance cost, there'll be no additional costs to a ST-Owner member.

It would be nice if some reciprocal arrangement could be made for my planned tour UK (2025) and US (2026).

It's the ST1300 closest to the camera.

We have a a coupla spare bedrooms, a full beer fridge, I'm sure something could be arranged.

If the stars align, I'd be happy to provide company on rides and / or a tour of some of the juicy riding roads. Are you sure you could keep up?

Geesh you're greedy....

Well, it would only be returning the hospitality provided by Kari & Todd when we visited in 2017.

What...? Me...?? All I want is a guide, food, bed, entertainment, booze, ......... Just setting Michael up......

Michael, although I won't be off to Oz, you're certainly welcome to borrow something from my stable. The border to the US is a 15 minute ride from my home.

• A guide - check
• Food - check
• Bed - check, I'll even tuck you in
• Entertainment - check
• Booze - check, but no tequila. And yeah, proper beer, not some of the celery water they serve at the Fort Spokane bar

Thanks for that offer, it will be stored away for the right time.

Thanks for the response, some of mine may be slow. Helen & I are currently on a half-lap caravan tour of OZ, staying in some isolated locations, very poor (if any) internet.

Send me a private email at LA@LeonardAron.com and maybe something could be done. I have an ST1300 parked at the Motofeirme in Southern Ireland and an almost identical one in Southern California. I also have a couple of Harleys in Southern California.

Update: The surplus ST1300 has gone to a new owner. But the remaining ST1300 will still be available as a loaner, providing mutually acceptable arrangements can be made.
