4th of july bike trip :)
I wasn't planning to take the bike up north, because dad needed me to bring some stuff, but while packing up the car Slavik offered up his ST1300. How could I turn it down? So I traded bike keys and managed to strap everything I needed on board and in the saddlebags and came up last night. Left my place at 10pm, arrived at dad's at 4:30.
It was a perfect night for riding, except the last 25 miles which were in the rain - but aside from a little bit on the elbows - I was dry. After doing this long of a ride with this bike - all I can say is that it is one awesome machine, especially for miles. Extremely smooth and effortless to ride. Slavik put a small amp and speakers on it as well, so with the ipod hooked up, I was all set. After this ride - I like this thing even more than I did beforehand, and it WILL be in my garage in September - if I decide to give it back to him after I return this weekend You will all have to try it.
This morning I went out to the old air base and got some shots similar to the ones I took last year with my bike... so here you go:

Nice. I would really like to get a bike like that in the future. I don't think I will ever be without a sportbike, but some days I would rather cruise than tear it up on the streets.

Well, in Sept I am buying this bike from him, and I will have both that and the ZX9.

I am nowhere close to being a mole. Neither one of those bikes sees so much as sand in the intersections, let alone anything offroad. Street and miles, baby. When it comes to offroad - give me a quad.
