I have never owned an ST1300 but I have a lot of seat time on them. Back when I worked at the Honda store we always had a few used St1300 and I would take one out on group rides. For a big bike you can really stuff that thing into corners. I have thought about getting one but it just doesn't fit my needs these days. (Too big!)About 4 years ago I picked up the pipes again and this has helped me have something to do. I learned to play back in the 90s. I was good enough to compete in grade 4 solo competition but stopped because we moved to the country. As my wife pointed out trying to keep bagpipes in playable condition without help is like expecting a weed eater to start in the spring. I discovered that we have a local service pipe band and so play and practice with them. We play veteran's funerals, line of duty deaths, parades and special occasions. It's full of comradery and I get to play with some pretty crazy pipers from local agencies.Speaking of modeling, I had thought of building a diorama of bikes or a workshop setting inside a Norton fiberglass tank cut in half. I have been toying with watch repair. It's fun for the mechanically inclined but a bit tough of you have fingers like bananas.
