Strange, Blake, I'd expected to see 1st April as the send date for this one!

IMMHO the propensity of the ST to attract 'dirt' to the rear suspension,
silencer and wheel is second to none, and no, the use of a hugger (Triumph
or otherwise) doesn't make a ha'p'orth of difference.

The one exception to this rule is "Rig's" ST, which, having ridden through
oceans of mud, still comes up shining like a new penny. How? Not a clue, but
Cymraeg Dawg will bear witness to the facts ~:)

Otherwise, Ed, enjoy what is still the best sport-tourer on the market...
