Greetings All,

A warm hello to you all, I just subscribed & this is my first post. My =
name is Paul Bulfin, I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and ride =
a black '99 S/T with just under 10,000km under the wheels. Bought it =
from the first shipment out here in Jan. '99. I have fitted the Triumph =
performance can and 2-bag panniers. I have GenMar risers on order and =
will compliment with the taller screen. These simple mods will make it =
the perfect machine (for me). I'm still amazed at the variety of riding =
one can throw at this bike, it never fails to impress. I have two good =
mates with '99 Daytonas and I love the top - end rush, but could never =
live with one day to day. This is my third 'Hinckley' - previous a '93 =
Sprint and a '96 Speed Triple. I still miss the Sprint... Then got =
side-tracked with a Ducati Monster - loadsa fun!=20

Only blot with S/T (besides recalls!) so far, the radiator virus. =
Replaced one at 4000km. The goat tracks we call roads here in Oz =
probably didn't help but that's no excuse, I wasn't impressed. No =
problems thus far with new one. Interesting aside, according to Gary =
McDonald of Triumph Australia (ex factory), Triumph is now manufacturing =
a second generation radiator which is supposedly stronger. Also, the =
accessory hugger is crap - mine just cracked for no good reason. It =
seems they have a growing stockpile of busted ones at my dealer. I'll =
try a carbon fibre one.

Anyway, best wishes to all - especially in the northern hemisphere for =
some warm weather to come (we have easy year-round riding here). I'll be =
in Europe (mainly Italy) in September after my wedding, so if anyone =
feels like sharing a quiet ale or two...

Rgds,

        Paul.
