This is actually a question for the city of Calgary guys. I'm picking up a bike from Blackfoot next week and need to know the name of a hotel or motel that is close by that won't break the bank.
Any help will be appreciated.

Yes I'm exited and yes I can't sleep!

The Blackfoot Inn is just (south)up the road....but I'm not sure about the price. Funny thing about hotels in your own town, you never use them.......and if you do, you don't want anybody to know

Well It's the thought that counts High Side, so thanks for replying.

Watch out for the ST13!!! Make sure the Wire Harness Ground Cable Recall was performed. And have seen coolant and oil leaks on every ST13 we sold. Coolant leak=check the bottom of the lower fairing for signs of leaking. I have found all of the coolant hose clamps to be loose at the top of the engine. It pools on top and leaks down the side of the engine. Look for the white trail. Honda said it is a Coolant plug on top of the engine, but I never witnessed that leaking.
Oil=The output shaft oil seal leaks. Look for oil at the back of the engine where the shift shaft seal is and look up. Have to pull the swingarm to replace.
No maintenance on this bike is fun I hate to say. I was a big fan of the ST11's
