		Hi everyone.  My name is Charlie and live in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania.  I
		bought a black ST in February and have about 800 miles on
it.

		 I also have noticed the inaccurate fuel gauge problem and
spoke to my
		dealer about it.  They were very interested to receive
comments on the bike
		as I have the first ST they sold.  My dealer said he will
contact someone at
		Triumph and perhaps it is something with the sending unit at
the tank that
		is supposed to tell the gauge what's going on.

		For what it is worth, I have found the shifting to become
smoother as the
		bike gets more miles.  The shifting requires a more
deliberate foot than a
		Japanese bike but  much less than my Harley did.

		Has anybody received the replacement center stand that was
recalled?  Any
		idea when they will be available?

		My dealer just got the heated grips and the stainless high
performance
		muffler in.  I grabbed them right up and will have them
installed next week.
		Can't wait to hear the triple sing!  Incidentally, the part
number on the
		muffler was different than the one my dealer had in the
Triumph catalog.  As
		a result,  the dealer computer did not record the incoming
part and showed
		it as still on order when in fact it was in the stockroom.
If it weren't
		for someone remembering that they had seen it back there I
would still be
		waiting for it!!  I am going to let the dealer install my
grips that way if
		the fairing gets messed up it's his problem!  I guess it is
all a matter of
		preference but I am find with the recommended mounting
location on the
		fairing.

		I am still waiting on the saddlebags.

		Some people have said the mirrors wobble at speed.  I had
the pleasure of
		getting the bike up to around 90-100 mph recently and the
mirrors were fine.
		They rock a little at idle and that's all.


		If anyone would like to explore some Pennsylvania back roads
this summer let
		me know!!  There are some great twisties around here!!


		Keep the shiny side up!

		Charlie
