All the kids are grown and I needed a life outside of work, so I bought another motorcycle. That was about 5 years ago. I've always liked the look of the ST1300. So I bought one. I bonded with that bike the first hour I had it. It's a great long-distance runner -- shaft drive, relaxed gearing, smooth V4 engine, and just enough sport in its DNA to be competent in the corners.
Last week, after a lot of research and test riding, I bought a second bike -- 2015 Ninja 1000. Yesterday (Saturday) was Bonding Day. Absolutely enjoy it! And it's 200 lbs lighter than the ST1300. Where the ST is fast, the Ninja is quick. Plus the N1K comes with a really good soundtrack (exhaust sounds).
I live in St. George, Utah. It's about 2 hours north of Las Vegas on I-15. The climate in St. George is similar to Las Vegas. (The scenery is much more interesting, though.)
I enjoy solo riding sometimes. It gives me time to think. But I also riding with others that have common interests.
