Replacement ST

Gizmo said:

Always scary when first hear about a "tip over" that happens at more than parking lot speeds. Sure glad to hear you aren't dealing with major recovery issues. The poor new-to-you bike won't have a clue what's happening when you start riding next spring - based on the mileage I don't think it is used to being filled up multiple times each day! Enjoy the farkling.

Next spring? Dave is a 4-season tagger and logs more miles with snowbanks next to the roads than the average biker puts on all year! LOL.

Congrats Dave.....that was a nice fine and the bike is just about brand new! Enjoy it and see you on the road!

She's a beauty Dave. I hope you enjoy many happy miles like your last one.

Nice idea using the tip-over bars as a 2nd tie-down location.

Looks great Dave, hope you have many happy miles on it

Been there and done that. In 2006 I totaled my brand new, two months old, 2,700 miles, 2006 ST1300. I walked away with two small abrasions where my jacket armor got ripped off as the ST and I slid down the highway on our left sides. Like you I had another '06 in about three months. I found my replacement up in the Cincinnati area via our forum. After some email and phone discussions I flew up, test rode it and bought it with a bit over 2K on the odometer and, unlike my first one, the replacement had ABS (I highly recommend ABS) and the seller threw in a brand new MC jacket, Steve Held gloves and boots, all of which fit me perfect. It also came with several nice farkles, including a Corbin heated seat. On my way back home to Palm Coast, FL I rode the Dragon, albeit kind of slowly. LOL Glad it worked out for you, too.

Well that looks like an almost new 07 ST. Enjoy it.
