G'day
« on: July 01, 2014, 04:31:00 PM »
Hi there. New to the ST1100, new to this site, but not new to motorcycling. Just bought a '00 ST from Tasmania, a maroon one, and am starting to learn quite a bit about them, thanks to this site. The main thing I have found is, that suffering from "ducks disease" as I do, I find my toes are only touching the ground when I stop. But I notice that a few other people have this problem as well. I am learning  to give the bike a slight left flick as I stop, thus at least I can get my right foot flat on the ground. This bike is the heaviest I have owned, and the first cruiser.

Anyway, I must say this is a great community, and look forward to having all my problems solved, well, maybe not all.................

Welcome creeture3. Let's not get off on the wrong foot.  :rofl  Pun intended.
The ST is no cruiser my friend. Officially known as a Sports Tourer.  :rockon
They are a heavy beast but that's one of the characteristics that give it such a great ride at speed.
Others will be along to welcome you shortly. Meanwhile, pour yourself a drink and grab a seat.

Welcome to the fray.  There's info in here about Russian leg extensions and Australian seat modifications.  Take your pick.



(I made up the bit about leg extensions- but they are on another website).   :grin

Yep, sorry 'bout that  :-[ (hence the label "ST") but since most of my bikes have been sorta sporty, this just feels BIG  :o although the wheelbase couldn't be much longer than my GPz900R (current). Other rides over the past  mumble years have been : CB350, Yamaha TX500, Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850, Honda CB750 just to name a few.
