Today I bought new-to-me motorcycle up in the Sierra foothills and took the long way home. About 4 hours and am super pleased with it. Honda ST-1300P (P=Police)

[Hi NV

Your ST13 looks good.The police in a few states here in Australia had the ST1300 for a number of years.  I have a 2010 in Black. Had an Interceptor for about 18 months, great little bike but i missed the power and weight. This is my second ST, had a ST1100 in the late ninetys.  They are a great machine.

Yes Sir _ the  "StratoLiner" class motorcycles are a hoot. These jumbos make good stable mates with the RE 650 because they are so, so different. Plus having 7.7 US gallons onboard is a luxury on those long haul rides.

A mile from my house is a little gem known as Tower Road. It's not long, at just over 2 miles, but there are dozens of turns.

Sounds like fun! How are you liking those Avons?

I love them! I went tubeless with the 3M tape and have had no problems. Even though the are a 90/10 tire, I feel they stick better on the street than the Pirellis.

Love that area; looks like around Wimberly or thereabouts?

Boerne. Just Northwest of San Antonio.

Gotcha. Had a student from there a few years back, who only had to correct my pronunciation of Boerne a few times....

Rhymes with "Journey"

Last ride of the season. Sublime.

Went for a ride yesterday, found the Whistle Stop Cafe from Fried Green Tomatoes. Yes, the real one.

Unfortunately they were closed so I didn't get to try the BBQ.

They can bash away. I love it. It doesn't bend like the stock lever did.

Bend? How hard are you hitting that lever?

Very hard. I couldn't even get the ABS to activate. Now that I have the EBC sintered pads, much less pedal force is required.

Wow.  You have somehow succeeded in making that Interceptor look....kinda badass.

Got done early today and took a rare weekday ride.  Stopped to eat my lunch in an abandoned parking lot and admired my bike.
