 Looks like I need to find another reason to come drink your beer now.

 The ST4 was a bit daunting at first, but once I got the hang of it the worst was the rear exhaust valves. Not much room to get in there. I just hope it doesn't develop the rocker flaking issue. That could get pricey. So far so good though.

 Bummer about the shelf. I try to avoid storing hard/heavy things on shelves above the bikes for that very reason this being earthquake country.

I had a shelf collapse in the garage dumping a half dozen folding chairs on top of my bike.   :willy: :willy: :willy:

I'm amazed every time I see the crap people pile on "shelves". I made Susan take down the piles of books she had on a built-in shelf system that was pulling away from the wall at the top. Structural engineering appears to be a lost art.  :-*

Actually, four separate supports pulled out from studs on an 8' shelf.  I thought I was over engineered to a fault on this one.  Apparently not.  Total weight on the shelf was less than 75#. 

Anyway, it's not that big of a deal.  Just one more story about the ride.
Lo and behold, we ride!
