I may not be riding it but I think I'll keep it b/c it will be cool to have 
a 2000 anything in good condition in 20 or 30 years.  Especially if that 
'anything' is a Triumph SLING-YOU-INTO-ANOTHER-DIMENSION Sprint ST.
How long would I have to wait for a fuel sender in 2033?? This assumes I 
don't wad it up on the way home.

Probably get something else as main bike though in another couple of years 
at 35-40K.
