Intro

[Bracherman@xxxxxxx]

Greetings to all.  I've just subscribed so wanted to introduce myself.  
Unfortunately, it's not going to be anything as interesting as the bike 
magazine writer in Canada.  Now that sounds like a killer job.

My name is Brent Bailey and I'm in Houston, Texas, land of zero hills and 
even less curves.  Still, riding is a blast even in this terrain.  Two months 
ago I got a '00 ST (sapphire blue) after riding a Virago 750 for 5 years.  
Needless to say, there's a little difference there.  I was looking for 
something with a "little" more kick and have been blown away by what I got.  
The mags were all spot on in their descriptions of this bike.  I installed 
the factory tall windscreen which I've found to be very helpful (even given 
my 6'1" frame) and also got a Corbin seat with backrest (a very comfortable 
seat).  The latter was a requirement by the wife and kids so I could still 
drop the kids off at school without fear of their flying off the backside.  
My fourth grade daughter is the coolest kid in school, by far, when we pull 
up into the parent drive!  The teachers all look at me with total scorn ("How 
could he put his daughter in such danger?"), but what the heck.

I've scanned through a few of the mailing lists digests and have already 
picked up a lot of great maintenance tips.  I'm looking forward to even more 
as more people get experience with the '00 model.
