Tink's Great ST1300 Adventure

[TINK_imp]

I'm back to work fixing old Brit bikes at http://www.triumphclassicmotorcycles.com/

Parked the ST1300 after my trip and let her rest for now. Need to put on a new set of tires and detail her before my next great adventure.

No, popgun, it was not the Minolta I lost. I lost my beloved Nikon D300 DX with the 18-200 DX zoom lens. I shot this camera/lens a lot over the past 10 years. I replaced it with a Nikon D700 FX (Craigslist) and a new 28-300 FX zoom lens from B&H. Saying goodbye to Nikon DX format and going full FX. I still shoot film, so now all my lenses are compatible with both my digital and film Nikon cameras. I also lost a Nikon FE film body and my 35mm f2 manual focus lens. Bummed about loosing my 35mm f2 AI manual focus lens, not so much the FE body as they are a dime a dozen.

I've done several 1000 mile days on the ST1300 before. This is the first time I did the entire 1200 mile Seattle to home ride in one sitting. It was fun being out on the road again. I told myself when I retired from the Corporate World that I would do this more often, ya, right, this is the first long trip I've done since my retirement... three years ago.
