another milestone on the ST - the Ferret - 10-25-2015

from today's ride. Such a smooth, stable, powerful (heavy) motorcycle. Love my Honda's. Going to try and run up 100,000 on her before I quit riding

I'm guessing this is for the year? ROFL

Ferret, are those bags strapped on the hard bags? They look fitted. What are they?

RE: another milestone on the ST - the Ferret - 10-25-2015

no bags other than the factory bags unless you are counting the tank bag popgun.

RE: another milestone on the ST - Lord Popgun - 10-26-2015

I see that now, with another look. Must be too early on a Monday...

Congrats ferret. There are times when I start missing my 2005 ST until I recall how it would cook my knees on a hot day. Have you experienced this and if so, what have you done to ease the problem?

RE: another milestone on the ST - emptysea - 10-26-2015

It's just a funny thing that we get excited about the zeros on our odometer. Most all of us do, myself included. I'm not sure if it's the string of zeros that calls our attention to the odometer or if we just get a kick out of seeing it click over or something else. To me, it's not logical, but then again, some of the best things we do in life defy logic. Congrats on the milestone, Mickey.

It's wierd but I like seeing the odo roll over to an ever higher whole number followed by zeros. My CB is about to turn over 18,000. Probably take a pic of that too, but I really like the 20 thou, 30 thou, 40 thou roll overs etc.

I'm glad I have company in this odd obsession.

Got over 85 on mine before putting out to pasture. Only bile I regret selling, still compare every bike I ride to the ST.
