Traded Sarah in for Ruby

[Pseudo-Fed]

Well, I enjoyed my 09 FZ6 for over a year, but decided I wanted a little bigger with a little more weather protection. Traded her last week for "Ruby", a new 2009 ST1300 in RED. I will also appreciate the greater touring range with the 7.7 gallon tank on the ST and lack of chain maintenance. But I gotta say, have a little remorse already since Sarah did everything I needed her to do!

I just found myself needing to load her heavier than I should within the very capable Shad sidecases and topcases. I will be selling my Shad sidecases along with brackets and all hardware, as well as my Joe Rocket Manta tank bag (hardly used) in blue (at impossible to pass up prices)--so check out the sale forum after I have a chance to post it in a little while. Below are a couple pics of the "old" girl....

I appreciate all the help on this forum.

Oh, and Ruby:

Good luck with the new bike!

what you mean lack of chain maintenance?

Had to periodically lube Sarah. Ruby is shaft drive. Stated it wrong. Won't miss chain maintenance (versus lack of)

Thanks. I've posted the sidecases and tank bag in the sales forum now if you know anyone who might be interested.
