Where did you ride today?

[ST-Traveler]

Did a 60 mile local loop. Still really brown fields and grass yet.

What is this brown you speak of? Summer is coming, but it's taking it sweet time about it.

I never thought a trip to the dentist office could be so fun. I took my youngest daughter to the dentist office. It took us about an hour to get there. Its only 3 miles from my house[emoji16]

I think it might take us 2 hours to get home.......

Rode mine to work today. I had to go down towards Pageland SC and back up to Monroe and Waxhaw. Nice weather but too many cars around Charlotte these days.

Took the Honda ST out again today as the weather is great. Saw a high of 70 and put in 185 miles.

Here today, probably in remission this weekend but YEAH MAN it's nice while it lasts.

Brutus took me up to the Baltimore office this morning then selected a less than direct route for the journey home. I was reminded how much I enjoy riding generally, and how much I enjoy my ST in particular.

180 miles today, finally burned up the last of my winter gas in the tank. It was beautiful and 75 today.

Well I did thing and bought a nice ST1300, and now have my 1100 (and other bikes) up for sale. This 1300 is an 09 model and fitted with Sargent seat, factory top box, Nitron shock and Racetech fork internals. Just for S&G the bike was located in Invercargill (home of Burt Munro/World's Fastest Indian) which is a LONG way from home. I set off at 0430 Friday to the airport and one plane change later got me to Invercargill by 11am, then I did the deal, gave the bike a quick pre-flight, loaded up and headed off. First stop was fuel and tyre pressure, PO had been using sportbike settings 29/33psi! What was he thinking?

After that it was non-stop for 360 km to Twizel for fuel (getting used to the tank/range), then Geraldine for snack, and finally to my brother in law's house at Rangiora by 7pm (690 km ridden in total). A few rehydrating beers and a bite to eat and shower and I was in bed, then back on the road at 0330 for a night ride to the ferry terminus at Picton arriving there by 0730 (317km). Got off the ferry in Wellington at 1230, and headed north, fuel at Levin and again at Cambridge, the the final leg home arriving at 8pm (another 660km). All in I rode 1667km, what fun, the lack of sleep was a bit of a bummer.

First impressions of the 13 are that compared to the 11 it is fast, revs quickly and has a bit more of an angry snarl. The 11 is a softer and gentler engine that is better at low revs, the 13 really gets its skates on once the speeds are up. The 13 brakes are a huge leap forward and the stiffness of forks and chassis can really be felt once the pace is up, where the 11 gets a little flexxy when pushed. The electric screen is magical giving an option of a cooling breeze or total protection. Fuel consumption seems a little better than my 11 as well, 18km/L vs 16 for the 11. My only negative is the heat, I was riding in 26C yesterday and really suffering around my thighs, but below 22 it's no issue so will be tapping the assembled experts for a solution. The bike also only came with a single ignition key so I need to get a second one sorted.

If anyone has helpful suggestions for the key and heat I'm all ears.

And of course POIDH!

Nice looking bike! Enjoy riding her. Red - the best colour!

I took a nice 155 mile ride this afternoon with partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 60's. Rode from Fort Walton Beach, FL up into south Alabama through Florala then west through some of the Blackwater Forest and down through Crestview on my way home. I did happen to make it to the HIGHEST POINT in the entire state of Florida! The air was not as thin as I expected, and there wasn't any snow at the top! But hey, at 345 feet above sea level, what do you expect?!?! LOL

Silver is so photogenic!

 

[Spazzpez]

I went out for a ride to work, but got T-boned along the way. It's a sad day for me and the (recently bought) ST1300. waiting for an adjuster to come out and look at it so I can get it back on the road again.

Saddened to hear of your 'incident'.
Glad you're OK.
Best of luck with the adjuster.

As long as you're ok, that's all that matters.
