Title: New member from Northern Virginia
Post by: Hueyf4i on February 11, 2019, 10:25:53 AM
Just found this forum.  On my 3rd motorcycle, which is an 04 Hinda ST1300A.  Starter off with a 94 CBR 600F2, then on to an 04 600F4i.  I've always wanted an ST1300, but couldn't justify the $15,000 price tag for a toy.  I finally picked up a used one in 2016 and sold my F4i a year later!  Hopefully I can add some life to the Virginia posts.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/467e3c0c6f3904e98f523cf8941bd801.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/264183eaf89b7de9219e0387c5d4f241.jpg)

I can't be the only guy here from Virginia?

Oh my, that ST1300 is way more than a "toy."

That's a vacation-mobile,  a commuter vehicle, high mileage low footprint exploration machine with speed and agility that most sports cars couldn't hope to match.

Welcome to the forum.

I hope we can encourage you to join us for some of our organized rides, there are numerous regional events not too far from you and this year's national event isn't to terribly far either, being in Bristol, TN.

And yes, there is at least one Virginian I know of, though he's down south of Richmond, but that's not even a warm up ride for the ST1300.

Welcome!  We have several members in Virginia, and lots of events either in it, or close around it.....Including STAR2019 in Bristol!  Check the schedule for events close to you.  Information found on our Facebook Page too!  Hope to see you at some of them this year.

Welcome to the group. As Pat said we have several MSTA members in Virginia.
I had two ST1300's, a 2004 and a 2008 and put over 100K on each. Great bike!
Hope you can make the National event in Bristol this June. -JEP-

Former CBR600 owner myself (2000 F4 red/silver) that I toured on for some time before getting a VFR, and now some bikes later have a couple with full hard luggage but still on ths sporting side.

Welcome to the forum, join us an an event and you'll meet lots of people and see what we're all about. You've got some good roads in your state, especially stuff near the mountains bordering WV, US33 and US250 are both a lot of fun.

Yup, at least one member in Richmond VA (me). Might be more in the area--hard to tell since this forum seems underutilized compared to the MSTA FB page. Maybe we can organize a VA ride one weekend? I've got time on my hands and interested in helping out after I get back to VA in early September.
