Hi John. I suppose I should welcome you as a member of the forum officially. Glad you found the site okay. As I have told you I think you will love the ST and be surprised how good they are, I honestly do not miss my FJR. (They are also a great bike though and I would happily own another). As you said we are getting a bit older, just a bit and the ST suits me better. I am hoping to leave home about 6am and meet you in Mudgee about 9am Saturday morning. You obviously need me to look after you!!!!!!
