>>>I to just crashed my ST. Ran=20
Sorry about that, my wife mistakenly sent the email before I could =
finish it.
About a month ago a friend and were cruising the mountain twistees near =
Park City, UT. We were both hard into the turns when I hit some gravel =
near the side of the road. The rear wheel went out from under the ST =
and we both went over a 20 foot embankment. Luckily landed on a pile of =
sand. I was not hurt at all thanks to my Triumph riding suit and =
helmet. The ST was not so lucky! Bike had damage to both sides of =
fairing, bent left handlebar, left mirror, footpeg and shift lever. =20
We got a tow truck to pull the bike out of the ditch, started it up and =
rode it home (60 miles) in third gear (no shift lever).
After alot of work and $2000 worth of parts, the ST is as good as new.
I feel the accident was the bikes fault, because the ST feels so secure =
and handles so well, I got over confident and thought I was a road =
racer.
PS I also installed the carbon fiber exhaust and just love the =
sound. Remapped the FI and can notice some midrange improvement in =
power.=20
