The long wait is over, I picked up my yellow "S" this morning. [clap]

I must admit, the tinted "ST" screen gives much better wind protection than the standard "S" screen. Glad I had it fitted.

Now for the 50km ride home [ride]

50km ride home?? Is that similar to my 5 miles as the crow flies, 50 miles as the new bike goes?? [ride][ride]

Enjoy it!

My ride home is 50km around the Johannesburg ring road, but it's about 29km by GPS as the crow flies. [bh]

At this stage I'm just enjoying the ride. [ride]
As from tomorrow, to avoid constant highway speed running-in, I will vary the route taken to the saltmine to encompass some slow stop start back roads.

Make sure you have a stick of biltong in your rucksack to have with your Castle Lager when you get home![booze]

Enjoy......

Congrats on the new member to the family. [bow]

I'm only 1,100klm into mine, but loving every bit of my ST. With the service behind me (yesterday) I even opened it up over 5k RPM on the way home. Apparently there is even more power tucked in there somewhere. [eek2]

Hope you can handle all the attention. [8D] It's certainly a show stopper here.

Congratulations Keithr!! I still believe it is the best buy at the moment. We are planning a track day at Phakisa and will let you know if this bike is smooth enough to break the two minute lap time.Please get use to all the attention at breakfast runs with the new bike.
Cheers and stay on two wheels

Just thought I post some pics of my Yellow "S" (Tweety according to my daughter) before it gets too dirty.

Now I anxiously await the arrival of all the AC Schnitzer gear. :D
