Politics are only allowed in the Lounge.

Now, again, this thing of mutilating Boxsters will not be tolerated!

Actually I think it's tastefully done and doesn't look gawdy at all. I am an avid biker myself, as I have a jamis coda sport. I know the difficulty of getting your bike to a good trail or path.

As for the Bumper sticker, I wasn't trying to bring politics into the discussion, just making a comparison. But I will refrain from any future references to obama, politics, religion, demise of our country or coolaid drinking.

Looks great to me. I also have a Willwood rack and thoroughly enjoy it.

Come over to the Lounge, where this type of chatting is routine!

Nicely done Ed!

Werks, nice bikes! The ST is a great bike but I really love the FJR! I had a FJ1200 back in the nineties. Did you consider the clutchless model? It looks as if it isn't available for 2010.

Thanks. I never considered clutchless for the FJR. I had an 89 FJ-1200... fun bike. My favorite touring bike
was a 91 Honda ST-1100 that I rode for over 17 years and 80,000mi. The FJR was a good bike also.

The Triumph ST-1050 simply handles better than any sport tourer I've owned. I now have it and an Aprilia SL-1000R.

Here's a couple more pics..... Tom
