Well?
I called you . . . did you check into it? Are you on the way to Boise to get it?
Whattup?
Thanks for the heads-up... I was really lookin' for an ST4
s model. There's also a pretty blue ST4 (non-S) in Damascus that's been advertised on and off for a month or two, and that one's only $5500. Drive to Idaho to save $500? Nah.
At this point, I'm gonna keep riding the SS and saving my pennies for a variety of things...
A) down payment/closing costs on house (those no-down-payment deals still require around 3% cash on hand to cover closing costs...3% of a sh*tload of money is still a lot of money)
B) new LCD computer monitor ($400-$500 for a decent 24"+ model at 1920x1200 resolution)
C) Canon G9 digital point-and-shoot camera (to complement my SLR film camera)
D) proper motorcycle pants
E) furnishings for my dining room/office (bookcase, desk, office chair, file cabinet)
F) AR-15 lower receiver (if it looks like Obama is headed to a win... leftists are likely to try banning so-called "assault weapons" again, and I want another legal serial-numbered AR before Round 2 of the Clinton gun ban)
In addition to the pile of financial considerations (which all told is around the price of an inexpensive Duc)... I'm leaning more toward a Multistrada 1000S or 1100S (the one with Ohlins suspenders). Those aren't too awfully cheap, but the Multi fits better than the ST.
