No ABS on the 2003 ST1100, just lotsa switches which are great for projects.. And the fastest colour as well...

That's good.  Now we've got a mate in a B-Double.  The more riders there are in those things the better.  I find the majority of the drivers professional and considerate.
Welcome to the Forum.  Lots of information on here about the Police STs.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Well come aboard Troy,from way down south, lots of info here and a few laughs as well. Enjoy, Brock is spot on with the lack of ABS etc its all up to the rider. Not such a bad thing though, I find it keeps me focused on the road a lot more,sharpens the skills so to speak. Just say`in....... :wht11
Only ever ride my own ride, helps me to stay above ground!
