I acquired in a trade an ST1100 from RollingJ a few months back as I wanted a sport touring bike. Rode it a few times to the office and a quick ride local a few evenings but no real rides.
Today I took it on a nice little trip. I had to be in Roanoke for a meeting tomorrow and so I decided bike trip.
Ran out to Boerne first to meet a new customer then up through Fredericksburg and Llano and up through Stephenville then around FtWorth and up to Roanoke for the evening.
I must say I was impressed, fast smooth and comfortable. It cruised at 75-95
all day on 16 with out complaint and would have been happy at 95-115 if I had felt like my wallet and ins could have taken the hit if caught.
It had bar risers on when I got it and they put me too upright and there was some buffeting, pulled them off before the trip and man what a difference slight tilt forward now and just out of the wind blast perfect riding positon.
I think I will get some miles and smiles from this bike.
Was a bit warm today as it stayed in the 100 degree mark from the time I left Boerne until I hit Ft Worth but my Olympia vented suit worked well all day and the one time I stopped to answer a batch of emails the old trick of putting your helmet in the ice machine in front of the store made for a cool ride for a few miles when I started back up
