Today, to commiserate and make myself feel slightly better after my beloved Arsenal dropped out of the FA cup (3 days after being pasted away by AC Milan in the Champs league) I went on one of my favourite local rides, heading north on the old Pacific Highway.
It hasn't been sunny on the weekend here for quite a while, and it seems many other riders had the same idea, including a few STers and related bikes.
I saw the following during my travels:
- White ST1100 (waved)
- Red ST1300 (hard cornering, wave deferred)
- Blue Goldwing Bus. (this was at the Pie in the Sky Cafe which is an informal gathering of bikes off for weekend jaunts on the old highway, locals will know what I am talking about. We had a good chat about his bike and his old one that he traded for the Bus, which was a blue 2001 ST1000 like mine. He had just got back from an around the country HWY 1 trip, did 17000km in 15 days. Seemed a nice bloke and I said we should meet up again.)
- Red ST1100
I took off the Staintune baffles for this trip. Mmm nice noise.
Cheers, Shaun
