Elton's new Honda ST1300ABS after trading in the ST1100!  Got such a good deal I could not refuse!  Otherwise I would have stuck with my great, well equipped ST1100.  Now I have to start all over with accessories.

So far I have added a Stebel Nautilus Air Horn and Givi Maxia 52 color matched top case.  Both are great accessories.

This is in the first few minutes of arriving home with my new Honda ST1300 after trading in my 3 year old ST100.  This was the only time Harriet got on with me for a half hour ride.  I managed to ride it almost every day until almost the end of November this year! A few things that stand out about the ST1300 over the ST1100:

• Power (26% more) - so it really, really hauls!
• Great curve handling!
• Electric Windshield works well!
• Fuel Injection vs. carburetors for smooth startups & no choke!
• Similar ABS brakes, but a little less pressure required!

Harriet's new Joe Rocket Jacket.

My beautiful wife's first day with her new Joe Rocket motorcycle jacket.  We went for a ride out to the St. Lawrence River via Hwy 1 to Iroquois and down the St. Lawrence River to Brockville and back home via Cardinal and Highway 22.  Picture taken by our daughter Mandy.  Her most interesting reaction to the new jacket was the fact that it did not billow up in the wind like her light nylon jacket she had been wearing previously.  She also feels a lot safer with the padding in it.

Clearview +5 Shield and the Givi Maxia case

Almost 2 months of riding pleasure by now.  Maxia case color matches perfectly!

My new 2002 ST1100 ABS

Just brought it home the day before.  No Givi yet and still the stock windshield.  Just brought it home the day before from Markham Outdoor Power Sports in Markham, Ontario.
