Hi all,
looks like a great place to hang out and look forward to contributing.
I'm still a novice rider, having started on a dirt bike, I had a go on my old mans 91 ST1100 and couldn't get the smile off my face.
So when my uncle was selling his Blue 93 ST1100 I took it for a ride and bought it no hesitation.
Only had it now for 5 weeks but couldn't be happier. Even took the wife shopping for a Lid and jacket so she can come along too. If we can just pry the kids into the side panniers it's happy days :-) Wish I had more time to ride, but at least I can enjoy the days I do.
The bike still runs really well, even though it had been sitting in a garage for 3 years and seldom used (tragedy). So after I bought it I had the bike thouroughly looked over, all lubes etc replaced, radiator flushed, timimg belt (had done just on 153k km) valve clearances (replacing 2 shims). Now she purrs.
There are louder pipes on it which makes it sound goooood. I'll get around to taking some more pics ASAP and share.
