    Hi there ST Digest
   =20
    My name is Burt Barrett, and I reside in Bakersfield, California.  I =
am the Proud Owner of a 99 Sprint ST, Big Red, with Pannier Bags, and =
Top Boot.  I bought it used from a small bike shop in Santa Barbara.  It =
had seventy eight miles on it. All the decals were intact and it was =
immaculate.  I bought it, with the bags and boot already installed for =
$95k, out the door.  My son (18) and I rode it home in the rain.  He was =
in hog heaven.(we both were I guess)
    I have been riding motorcycles since 1958.  Mostly Triumphs.  I am a =
Triumph man.  I have ridden almost every other brand out there, and like =
most all of them.  But the Triumph Sprint ST is the BEST motorcycle I =
have ever ridden!  I love the Kenworth diesel sound she makes at idle.  =
Different.  I am interested in a taller windscreen.  Seems that at =
speed, 60/80 I feel a lift of my helmet, which is different than other =
bikes I have ridden.  WHAT is a Zero Gravity windscreen?  Does the =
Triumph taller windscreen work better?  =20
    By the way, I got radared the other day by the CHP, two separate =
officers, in two locations.  The first one got me at 80, and the second =
one got me at 78.  Both matched my speedo reading.  Interesting.  I also =
have a 71 Triumph Bonneville which I have restored(Bought one new in 71) =
and curiously the speedo readings match, as do Big Red and my sons 71 =
BSA Lightning. =20
    About OIL.  Had Wilson's in Fresno change the oil at 600m.  They =
refilled with Motul, semi synthetic.  Shouldn't it be the Triumph Mobil =
1?
   =20
    Regards
    Burt
    Big Red
