For trips mainly. I may use it to go to work more after the car lease runs out or when pay parking is introduced.

Haha! that's why I put...

Do you do most of your annual ST mileage commuting or for leisure?

... so you fence sitters and undecided would have to consider carefully your ONE vote.        :nahnah

It is undeniable that whenever you are riding your   :dred11 :wht13 :blu13 :blk13 :slvr13 :rd13 :13Candy :wht11 :bl11 :blk11 - it is a pleasure - but th PURPOSE for the ride is what's required here.

OK, now I'm confused (again) because the ST makes my commute a pleasure. So strictly speaking I use it mainly for commuting.

And after Streak told us off for using big type and everything :P

I ride mine for pleasure... Unfortunately I have a company car which MUST clock over 25,000km per year. So I need to spend waaaayyyy to much time in it.

That striping seems to fall off shelves around the work shop Brock. 

You don't want that speaker Brock, you want the other side.  The right is a dummy one that has hardly anything in it and just makes noise, the left one is worth about $2500 because it has the controls and sounds programmed into it.  I'm telling you this because I am far enough away from most of you not to have mine stolen. :rofl :rofl 

It's a real bugger when the boss says you HAVE to patrols the beach areas off the highway on a patrol. :thumbs

I don't s'pose we could have ride any time soon :grin
 
All you need to do is find the stickers and ride around yelling EOR-EOR inside your helmet Pete.  It's not that far away. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl 

Sorry forgot I wasn't on the Feejer forum.  I'll take a picture of the ST13 that has finally arrived at work for you all to drool over then. 

Hey Diesel I believe this is another thread I have hijacked on you  >:().  Highjack over now. :CB--

I had to work it out but... :think1
I've had the bike about 18 months done over 40,000k's and easily done 10 trips of 2,000k's or more.
So I'm glad to say my bike is mostly used for leisure but always a pleasure. :thumb
