2006 brought a renewed interest in motorcycles. I started shopping around, looking at used touring bikes, checked out a 2005 Kawasaki Concours, and some others. Back in the early 90's, I met a guy down in the Smoky Mtns who was riding a Honda ST1100. I thought that bike was slick, so 13 or so years later, a Honda ST was still of interest to me. I liked the idea of a sporty yet functional touring bike. My financial situation improved, and an ST took over from the Connie and other bikes I was looking at. After shopping around at several dealers, and shopping online at CycleTrader and Ebay, I found a NEW 2005 Honda ST1300 (with ZERO miles) at a dealer near the Air Force Base I used to be stationed at in Indiana. So on the coldest day so far in December 2006, I went to pick up my new ride. It was snowing, so I elected to trailer it back, as I no longer had any suitable riding gear.
