Hi everbody in ST land=20
I've been tuning in for several weeks now but have only just felt =
confident enough to emerge from the covers and introduce myself. I just =
hope I have worked out how to make this contribution without unwittingly =
attaching a whole digest!
Name is Bryan, early 40s, live in a Bedfordshire village about 45 =
miles north of London. Had a blue ST since mid-April. Only use it for =
pleasure but have clocked up 6,500 miles to date without any of the =
problems reported in the digest (touch wood!).
Previous bike was a 1993 Trophy 900 which got a bit noisy mechanically =
after 123,000 miles so I moved it on. In that time it just needed one =
silencer, a rear disc (EBC pads!) and a new radiator (road-salt) on top =
of the usual wearing bits. Did however get the cam-chain, etc replaced =
at 100,000 as it seemed like a good idea. Another Hinckley Triumph was =
thus a pretty obvious choice! Most of the previous 20 years riding was =
on various Meriden Triumphs, a couple of BMWs (but I'm over that now!), =
a Wankel engined Norton and somehow a Yamaha sneeked in there for a =
couple of years in the 80s whilst I lived in Canada.
Other bikes living in the garage: 1949 Norton 16H (for sale), 1969 =
Triumph T100S, Honda TLR200 traillie (for sale), Yamaha XT225 Serow =
traillie and Yamaha TY250 trials.
Views on ST to date: Excellent,love it! But OE tyres wear out too =
quick - just about to replace original BT57 rear with (don't wince) a =
BT54 (excellent on the Trophy - looking for 10k miles minimum!). Too =
much weight on right wrist (have factory high screen) - might fit the =
risers after hearing all the good reports. Excellent fuel consumption - =
every tank-full monitored and overall average 64.2 mpg (imperial) / 53.5 =
mpg (US).
Deal with On-Yer-Triumph (formerly known as Market Motorcycles) in =
Tring. Excellent people to deal with and brilliant mechanics.
Now I can dive for cover again and continue to enjoy the digests.=20
