Re: [ST] I'm back

Oh Chuck, you and I are so much on the same thought waves. I am in the 
process of selling my LT (ebay) to buy the new 2005 Sprint as a stable mate 
to my Tiger. Before I make another move on a bike I will be sure to consult 
with you. Hopefully, I will be riding the new ST by July.
How's the Utah gang?
My wife and I competed a 10 day vacation through southern Utah the last week 
of May. We were fortunate to time our excursion to be in Torrey when the 
BMWsporttouring gang were there and drop in for a visit. What a fabulous 
piece of country you have down there.
