Congratulations, Dick - Victoria Police here has
a couple of ST1300s, I inspected one - lovely bike, and they like 'em.?
Haven't heard about the weave here, but they don't have a freeway on the
Island and they don't wear?a topbox either.? I presume you won't
regularly travel at 125-145 mph, but maybe I'm wrong?..?? How many
bikes will that leave in the stable??

I took it up to speeds in excess of the normal
motorway speeds and no weave at all. however mine will have the top box
fitted so I will find out if that has an adverse effect

Cool!

Now you can get embroiled in the famous
copper killing weave debates??that?are consuming all the
Pan riders at the moment.

I spoke to a Pan riding copper last month
and I'm pretty sure its the same as the W weave!
As some of you will know recently I have
been considering a more touring style of appliance. Today I rode tested
a ST1300?Pan European. I was offered a really good trade in for my
CB1300S against a brand new Pan complete with a package off accessories
worth ?850 for less than the list price of a standard bike.
Hopefully I will be concluding the deal
next week

Have a great time with the Pan, pretty much a mile muncher…

couldn’t “feel” the effect on at speed… just a little lightening of the handling…?

Yes, the front Venom, or indeed a front Bridgestone BT45 would be
fine.
There's nothing really wrong with the rear...The BT45 is better, but if you
get good mileage, it follows you don't 'ear'ole' it much so the benefits of
the rear BT's stick sidewalls would be lost.
If the front has developed a 'step' where the centre treads have become
raised, you might not want a BT45 on the front as the raised ridge is
symptomatic of the dual compound front tyre wearing wrongly due to your
riding style ( mine too!). The BT45 might also wear in that way...Although
no-one has reported it doing so yet.

I think we have the new part number on file on the website, but I did
write it down in my datebook -- unfortunately, I wrote three different
numbers. I think the right one is 35022-0025. I ordered the new and
improved model last November and it still hasn't arrived. Last I heard
it was backordered to Japan. I'd be anxious to hear how you make out
with your order.
Cheers,

Re: NWC - Excelsior Board Track Racer
When I put my Excelsior on the dyno at Daytona Bike Week's AMI dyno shooout, the crowd started gathering. By the time it whupped every Harley except?a specially prepared tgrailer queen that was built for nothing but dyno shootouts, and?was pushed?pushed from the?trailer onto the dyno, the crowd was screaming.? A year and a set of great cams later, when my Excelsior beat a Hayabusa at Phil Peterson's Miami Harley Davidson Anniversary Dyno shootout, even the dyno guys were aslking me to do additional runs. The Hayabusa had been brought in to embarrass the Harleys. When I beat him, the whole crowd was ready to elect me presidnt.?There's nothing like the sound of a prepared?EH at seven grand. O, I almost forgot, the only thing that will draw a bigger crowd, is four-gear burnouts -? Great way to get rid of old hard rubber when you buy a new tire!
