Jon, welcome to the nut house...however you have me confused. You say in your post that you are looking forward to riding the bike to work in Brisbane but your pin on the member map puts you in Sydney...now that is what I call a COMMUTE!!!  :crazy :crazy :crazy :grin :grin

Welcome to the best rider's forum on the 'net.
I see you live next to some of the best riding roads anywhere.
Looks like you were born lucky, now you've got one of the best two touring bikes going.

Your right there biggles was just thinking that my first ride on it might be up and through the tick gates and down into murwillumbah, have done it before on a tlr1000 that i used to have and on an r1 but think it would be a much better experience on the st,and my girl is from beechmont so that is a top ride as well  :) , beechmont i mean you dirty minded people

Welcome.  With a 2000 model nothing much to do except regular maintenance and just ride.  The ST loves being ridden all the time, gets sooky otherwise.

Welcome Jonny. Welcome to the world of STism. You'll love the comfort of the ST as I read with interest you once enjoyed the pleasures of a TLR. That was my last ride before the magnificent ST 1300. Hope to see you on one our our many RTE outings.
Cheers.

Hey Sabie, I wouldn't be apologising, I'd be picking right back on Harie's typos  :grin

Yeah I know, but I've seen how upset Harieg gets and I hate to see a grown ST rider cry.........

Easier to be facetious by an over the top apology...... That's how to get back at a spelling bully...... :p

And Sabie only has 1 b........Harieg.... :thumb

Oh - you guys are good! Until Harie gets his 1st Macchiato for the day - he can be like a brush cutter with a bad case of the irrits. Right Harie?

I will invite you for the next coffee - so keep Goldie semi-warm ol mate. Might even thrill you with Mrs Diesel's company - but you have to promise to behave!!!      :spank

Cheers, Diesel

Ah Yes - the thread starter. Sorry bout that, Jon.        :fp

Looks like today's the day ol mate. Hope all goes well for you both, and a big welcome to this forum where you can ask all those "what does this do" questions. Going on your previous rides, you may be surprised to find yourself still on the bike after an hour and a half with out a sore    :butt

It'll be great to say g'day to you on the next OzSTOC outing.

Enjoy. (And post up a pic or two)

Gday harieg yeah might call her trigger and the ol girl has done well this week have done about 1100ks in a week and my blurter didnt get sore till last trip on saturday so the claims from you guys about the comfort of the ST is spot on .
 Suprised the i havent seen any others on the road though but do find it amusing/annoying when i come up behing another car or bike and they jam the brakes on cause they think its a copper  :cop,but geez you some some twits on other bikes i had not really noticed them as much when i was in the car.

Oh and feel free too hijack the post and give each other heaps its good for a laugh :thumbs

You should try it when there are two or three  P models in a group. Cars really notice you then, and the UHF is alive with police bike warnings. Seems to have gotten worse since I mounted the driving lights, especially when parked on the side of the road.
