Mike,
Welcome! This is quite a contrast, I'm 25 and going to own an ST
soon. I'm curious, how do you like the 3 pannier set? I'm thinking
about starting with the 2 set and betting the top bag later. Opinions?
Glad to meet you,
Mark Collett

Mike,
<BR> Welcome! This is quite a contrast, I'm 25
and going to own an ST soon. I'm curious, how do you like the 3 pannier
set? I'm thinking about starting with the 2 set and betting the top

<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">Dear fellow
ST riders, I would like to introduce myself. I am a 2000 ST owner, purchased
May 2000. I live in northern California in the town of Burney. Burney is
nestled between Mt Shasta and Mt Lassen. I rode motorcycles years ago while
in my 20 years of age. I am now 50, and very much enthused with my new
bike. Much of my free time was spent driving sports cars in SCCA roadracing.
In 1997 I pulled back from driving in competition and now teach. The bike
has filled the void of not racing and I am in the process of learning a
whole new world. I have almost 11K on the bike and it continues to run
without any problems. I have the three pannier set, optional wind screen
and a set of the "multisport" handlebars made by Heli, which I have removed
in favor of the stock bars. I have modified the stock muffler can by removing
the stainless steel cover, cutting off the front and rear ends and replacing
the center section with a piece of 5" exhaust pipe, and then re-installing
the stainless cover. I also cut down the overall length by four inches.
It is a little loud to some people's standard, but it is quieter than most
Harley's. Most important of all, it sounds right for me. Oh, by the way,
it is Tornado Red. I am on my second set of tires, this set is Metzelers
(4's). I am hoping to meet some of the California ST'rs. I realize the
riding season is over for most people in the US, but I will continue to
ride on days that permit throughout the winter. Tomorrow I will be leaving
Burney for Sonoma and Marin counties to visit friends and ride the back
roads during the daytime.</FONT> <FONT COLOR="#0000FF">Looking forward
