Re: [ST] Accessories for sale

Sean,

I bought the ST used, and it is my first bike. It had a bit over 14k when I 
bought it in June, and since then I've put just shy of 3k on it. I was REAL 
nervous about buying the ST as my first bike--you know, visions of grabbing 
too much brake and launching myself over the bars in the middle of a 
turn--but that 955 is a pussycat if you keep the revs low, which I did the 
first month or so. I'm only now starting to discover the magic 7k rev line 
that changes Clark Kent into Superman. I'm very pleased with my purchase, 
obviously.

The Falco just "does it" for me visually. But, it seemed geared toward the 
wrong riding philosophy for my first purchase. I may buy a Falco or Mille as 
a toy in another year or two, but the ST fits 90% of what I want a 
motorcycle to do. The ST still has lots of capability for me to grow into, 
so it should keep me happy for a while.

Roger

>>>
>>>1.) Sport tank bag (everything included), triumph part number A9510023. 
>>>Perfect condition, I'll let it go for $100 shipping included.
>>>2.) Center stand from a 99 Sprint ST, can be modified to fit a RS (tabs

>>>3.) Carbon fiber race can (which I purchases used).  The carbon pattern 
>>>is a little miffed on the side facing the bike, but perfect from the 
>>>visible side. Cheap way to get a nice exhaust. $100.00.
>>>4.) Oil filter and container of triumph mobile-1 oil. make an offer.
>>>5.) 19tooth front sprocket, only used for 2000 miles. make an offer.
