Looks beautiful, Bob, and we are now both members of the Red Italian Wheels Club, which is nice. The membership fee was a bit pricey, don't you think?
You'll have a lot of fun on that ST4, I'm sure. One of the few bikes that can get you from the UK to the Alps relatively sane and then enjoy the twisties once you're up there.

Re: Touring bike
Quick thing springs to mind from a mate who had one. Make sure the alternator bolt is always properly torqued up - it's important I think. Otherwise it's belts (easier than everyone thinks) and regular oil changes.diggermanbob wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 4:06 pmThanks Dave I'm very happy with it and it does look sweetdaveuprite wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 4:03 pm Looks beautiful, Bob, and we are now both members of the Red Italian Wheels Club, which is nice.

Re: Touring bike
Nice one Bob. Don't you love it when you buy a bike that comes with a fat receipt for all the stuff you would have had to do yourself? My MV came with a recent 800 euro bill for synchronised injectors, valve check, oil service, new pads and tyres. That's a summer of fun hopefully without doing much at all to it.
I really like that grey/red combo on the ST4S. Best colours for that bike I reckon. If it was a 916 you could just get a marker, scribble SENNA on the side of it, and double its value!
