Just thought I'd add my $.02 on  some of your comments. I also Dumped my ST 
on Friday with 680 miles on it. Watched some young mother in front of me in 
her Toyota mini van leave the red light on a right turn, looked left, saw 
nothing coming so I started to go and "Bang" there she is still sitting 
there, for what reason, only she knows. So I hit her and went down. Busted 
the front fender and scratched up the right side fairing and had a sore knee 
for a couple of days but every thing else seemed OK. I was on my way for my 
500 mile check-up. Dropped the bike off and Dave, the owner of Lancaster 
H*nd*-Triumph, gave me a red ST to run to work. When I returned in the 
evening to pick up my black one they said mine had the loose sump bolts and 
they had the bolts but no sump gaskets. So they gave me this lousey 1200 
Bandit to use this week till they get mine fixed. I imediately took that 
thing home and parked it and got on my old trusty 750 Ducati. 
       One comment on tires. I find the bridgestones a trying to slide out 
from under me at the rear. But I have D 207's on my Ducati and they are even 
worse. They are the scariest tires I've ever had on a sport bike. I just got 
rid of a hopped up Buell S3T when I got the Triumph and I ran D 205's on that 
and always was impressed with them. Never did anything unexpected and I 
usually got 6500 miles out of the rear ones. So I'd be interested in what 
people are putting on there Triumph to relace the Bridgestones, 'cause I 
ain't puttin no more bridgestones on mine.

Cheers,
Warren in PA
