Hi
I recently did a short tour of Scotland on my ST. Photos of trip can
be found here http://lawrie.smugmug.com/Motorcycles - picture titles
give some clue as to what was going on in each. But mostly think
'great roads, fabulous scenery, no traffic' and you get the general
idea.
On third day of trip I had an off - and damaged bike enough for it to
be written off (thanks to a small break on headlamp assembly mounting
on frame... see pictures). Slow speed impact, with no harm to me and
other than broken plastic and the mounting bold-hole on frame, hardly
any to bike. So have salvaged useful accessories (panniers etc.) and
luckily found an even better ST, same colour, newer, much lower
mileage advertised locally. So after dust settles, I'll be out of
pocket somewhat (due to difference in value between old and new,
insurance excess etc.) but will end up with slightly better bike than
before... Anyhow, pictures of damaged old bike and new one on link
above.
Regards
Gavin Lawrie
