Hello all What a great time I have had with my ST1100 . Met some great people and travelled a lot of roads.
I made a good decision after reading a lot of forums and purchased a new Harley. Picked it up last Monday
It is 2013 Harley Switchback Ember Red. Beautiful colour. It has a windscreen and rear panniers. 103cubic inch motor and I have added the Vance & Hines exhaust to come out on each side. To me it evened the bike up.
Went out riding on Sunday covered 298 km and fuelled up when I got home.
I hope to go riding with Bodie (son) as he has a Harley Night Train.
I am looking at adding my ST to the for sale column.

It doesn't matter what bike you own as long as you enjoy the long and windy roads of the country side.

So honey (ST2UP) give the guy a break.

Hi JohnoJ. I have ridden around Oz with two mates on Harleys, so they can tour. Mind you, one needed a full engine rebuild (just 40k on the clock) when it got home! Congrats on the new bike, and keep on riding.

Oh... I thought this was the start of a joke, when I started reading it...

Never seen such a bold contradiction in so short a sentence.

Sorry about your confusion. Don't sell the ST yet. You'll need it for when the Hardley is in the workshop.

I can put you in touch with a good psych, although it sounds a bit late for that.

Sorry about this Johno but Icouldn't resist.

No point in looking behind when you're not in front of anybody.

With the Vance & Hines exhaust it should sound nice

Glen you always have to have the sweeper!
