My 2004 :bl13: (one I bought two years ago, not the one bought two weeks ago) turned 50K yesterday!

Only 19K of those are mine.

What's crazy is that out of the three bikes, this is the only one I know what the mileage actually is! :eek:4:

Now I am not so sure about that mileage as you have way to many bikes and speedometers off of who knows what?? Hey you can just change it out for a lower mileage unit later. :D

Quit commuting brother I'm trying to catch ya :D! Okay I know I can't compete with the miles you have had on the other bikes so I'm only trying on this one. Got my 07 in July of last year with 10,8K and am now at almost 34K. Be safe out there!

Well, in a few months down the road, you just might be in luck! Once I get this new '04 road worthy and licensed, I'll be taking the older '04 off the road so I can do some major maintenance, replace all coolant hoses along with all the seals at the back of the engine that are leaking. Not sure how long either will take me to get started on them or how long it will take me to do the work!. :eek:4:

Oh, you know how that goes... Although, I will be selling one, but I'm thinking that might be the 1st '04, after I fix a few items on it. But the 2nd '04 will have to be able to handle commuting duty to replace it. My thinking is that the 1st '04 has a non salvage title. the second has a salvage title. I'll get more for the non salvage titled bike.

Then my son Justin is telling me, after I sell the 1st '04, that I should sell the 2010 and take the money from both and buy a new ST1300 with no mileage! :think1:

But to do that, I would have to buy the new bike before I sell the 2010, so I can swap the plastics from one bike :bl13: to the other:bk13:! :D

The new 04 and the old 04, not to be confused with the older 04?!?

And I thought I had trouble having 2 1993's in my garage?!!?! Have you named them yet? You can't call them new and old, the blue one, the 04, the Honda, my ST..... all the normal names are out. Smurf names, think smurfs!
I don't know any of the smurf names!

But naming them is not a problem! one is 2010, one is 1st '04 and then there is 2nd '04. Easy! :hat3:

I have some '06 black plastic arrainged for the 2nd '04, I can call it the black '04 once I do that! ;)

And you are right, I sure can't call any of the "Ole Blue", since all three are :bl13: :rofl1:

See the whole problem is NOT that you have too many ST's, it's that you have too many the same color! So if you ever need help getting rid of some of that awful blue just let me know. While somewhat embarrassing to ride a blue ST I would help a fellow ST'er out ya know:D. Yes silver, you need a silver plastics package to go with the blue that would give you some diversity and lesson the confusion upon which 04 you're talking about.

You may be able to solve one of the mySTeries of life by doing this. Can you max the blue one then change the plastics, then max it again but with black clothes on. Then publish the reults, which should prove once and for all that black is the faSTeST colour.

With the three bikes (I've put less than a mile on the new 2004) it's only about 212,000 miles so far.
