I feel for you Dave.
Infact our stories are pretty close. Except for the divorce part. I bought my 99 ST in 2000 and planned on keeping it. I was about to buy a low mileage Bimota SB6, when I was on a short ride and a wayward dog crossed my path. I chose to brake rather than hit it. The front wheel locked on a damp patch of diesel on an otherwise dry road. Down we went on the right side. The cosmetic damage was extensive. At 85,500kms I was paid out. I tried to buy it back, but a chap at the disposal centre had the same model so he grabbed my old friend to make one bike.
After I healed I bought a 05 ST. Its a wonderful package and I love riding it, but I do miss the '99 ST.
The most important thing is that you are ok and can ride another day.
If we were closer I would join you in that single malt.
Brett.
