I hope that everyone knows this is all a joke to me. I like the ST, Like
the RS. Hell I like Aprilla RS50's. Don't care what you ride or why. I
rode with alot of these guys at the rallye and I hope they know I am
joking. Our bikes are way to unique and way to rare to divide.
As for the HH pads, fire an email off to Ickis_Dog@xxxxxxxxx and I'll send
you the correct number when I get home.

I knew it was just a matter of time until the ST'ers and the RS'ers
turned on each other. Just ride whatever makes you happy. But as long as
we're tossing insults.....
Are you seriously going to tell me that a single sided swing-arm is
what sold you on the ST? It seems like that thing was designed just to make
it easier to lube the brake disc when lubing the chain... wouldn't want
that disc to rust! And some of us just don't like having two big slabs of
Samsonite on the side of our hot rod even if they are called "panniers" (no
one is fooled, just call it luggage!). I like the higher exhaust, at least
it doesn't drag on the pavement when I heel the bike over. As for the
unfinished cockpit, who cares! Its a motorcycle for crying out loud, not a
Lexus! I personally don't mind a more spartan gage cluster. As a matter of
fact, it prefer to see the structure of bike and not a bunch of cheap
looking plastic. Yeah, look at it this way - not having a "finished
cockpit" saves weight! And what's worse, not having a gas gauge or having
one you can't trust?
Just kidding about all of the above, guys. Ride whatever spins your
crank!
By the way, did anyone ever figure out what the correct part number
is for the EBC HH sintered pads for the rear?
