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.

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
