Hi
   Thanks for letting me join, My 98 ST1100 is an ex police bike which the policeman who was the original rider whilst on duty sought and found it after it was taken out of service and bought it for his own personal use, just recently he sold it to me, this is my first ST and I am enjoying it very much and am finding it more comfy than the Harley's that I've owned (why didn't I discover these first) Anyway awesome site looking forward to meeting and riding my fellow ST riders here in W.A.

Hi Blokie and welcome to OzSTOC from SA.    :hatwave    You will find the good folk on the forum to be full of useful information and advice, and we always look forward to catching up with new members.      I've tried to convince my Harley riding mates of the benefits of an ST, but........

Welcome to the fray.
You won't get any arguments here regarding the superiority of the STs over HDs (and most other non-Honda bikes, too).   :grin

HDs are about show.  STs are about GO>>>

Smart choice of bike also.
