What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

Another day of just looking at the ST in the garage waiting for a day the weather and roads allow me to ride. We are under another Winter Weather Advisory for the next two days. This winter has been rough for riding. I did start her up yesterday just to hear her purr.
 
Took the Honda ST out today for a nice ride, 223 miles today with temp's from 53 to a high of 63.

Here is a picture of Pismo Beach Pier.

Hi Mike,
I don't have my '03 any more but we still do the "snowbird" deal down to Morro Bay for two months. Today I rode my mountain bike down to the Rock and the sky looked just the same.

Me and my ST were wondering why people outside Europe want to ride a Pan European:rolleyes:

Me and my Vette were wondering why anyone would want a Beemer or Porche. My Honda ST was thinking the same about Beermers too

Ok, Ferrari, Jag and Ducati not withstanding

Some people outside of America prefer to go Pan American.

Because not everyone in America rides Harleys! :rofl1:

I've only been setting up my motorcycles as sport tourers since '87 when I bought my first VF700 Sabre! '85 VF700 Sabre

Started riding ST1300s back in November 2005.

I didn't know there were other bikes to ride? :thumb:
 
I rode from Errachidia to Bouârfa today. It was an interesting ride, about 300 km (200 miles) through a very sparsely populated area of the country. I think I only saw about 10 cars coming the other way all day. The route took me to within 100 meters (100 yards) of the border with Algeria. Morocco and Algeria don't get along very well (same idea as USA and Cuba), so the area near the border was quite heavily fortified - Morocco has constructed a very large berm, about 15 feet high, all along their side of the border, and there are military outposts about every 5 km (3 miles).

Bouârfa is an interesting little village. The bulk of the Moroccan population, who live along the coastal areas, are of Berber ethnicity. In the far south of the country, about half the population is of sub-Saharan African (Negro) ethnicity. But here in this village, the population is primarily nomadic Arab ethnicity, which is unusual in Morocco. Apparently this is a bit of a historical accident, left over from the days when there were trade routes all across the Maghreb, from Morocco to Yemen. The animosity between Algeria and Morocco has left this group of people cut off here in Bouârfa, because the border between the two countries has been closed since about the 1950s.

Tomorrow, I head north towards Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the north coast of Africa.

Camels, Horses, Donkeys & Kids
This camel was the only thing I saw along this stretch of road. The photo gives a bit of an idea of the scale of the desert.

Animals are still used as propulsion here. Interesting rear suspension setup on the cart.

I had double-parked, but apparently the donkey does not have a reverse gear - I was asked to move the motorcycle.

This little girl, about 9 or 10, intends to get a motorcycle when she is "big enough". She asked if she could sit on mine.
