Thomas,

I'll up the ante on this one (although someone out there can do better).
Five years straight with a bike as primary transportation (part of it was in
college, so that might not count). And as we all know, in Texas, it takes
five minutes to dump eight inches of rain. Then wait 15 minutes for the sun
to come out and dry it up in another five minutes.

I actually had the pleasure of riding in a sleet storm for about ten miles
back in the late 80's on my FZ700. And yes, it was uphill in both
directions.

It's nice to finally have a reliable vehicle, with a top, that I can take
out in inclement weather and leave the bikes in the garage.

**One more thing, anyone else out there notice that the ST sounds like a
diesel at idle, or am I just losing another piece of my mind?
