Typical...

I go along to the WVAM bike meeting last night, and what do I find ?
3 other ST4S's sitting in the car park.
Now this is bad. Before we know it they'll be getting a reputation for being as good/better than VFRs, and then everyone will have one :lol:

What is worse though is that they were all the same colour as mine !! :mad:
Have to be different somehow. Anyone got a tub of pink metalflake paint ??
(not for mine - for thiers !! :lol: )

That's one of the reasons why I boughtn a yellow one - they don't sell yellow ST4s in CH so I always spot mine in a car park full of them at the top of the Klausen Pass . The other reason is that of course yellow ones go faster :sing:

Y ou remind me of when I bought the ST2, our local dealers had an offer on ST's a few months later and .. before I knew it I was living in ST city.
As for the colour, why do the people in the know (Ducati Corse ..of course <= shitty pun intended) race them in the obviously faster colour as they do ??

...I buy a red Ducati, we get a rash of same in the club. I buy a grey one and look what happens... At least I didn't have to write an ST2 off on a passing deer to get mine. Which is now handling like it ought - new wheel bearings (warranty) don't half make a difference. And I apologise to Pirelli for all the nasty things I said and thought about the Diablo Corse...

okay Richard, yours can stay silver too, just Malcolms one to soon become candy pink :lol:

Btw, interesting about the wheel bearing. Talking to a guy on Friday with a yellow ST4S who also had to have a new rear bearing at 12k. His however was not covered by warranty even though it was done at his 24month service...

Cheers,
John.
