[ST] New rider to the list

[Mark Needham <gbdiver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning all.

Mark here. Rider in Washington State but transplanted from across the pond. I used to own a CBR600F3 (Betsy) but gave her up as my knee was giving a little trouble after riding her for a few miles.

Up comes this beautiful Sprint ST (1999 model). I knew as soon as I saw the ad she was going to be mine (Gloria). 18k miles, new sprockets and chain, heated grips, full luggage, carbon exhaust, and alarm system (which I am beginning to detest a little). I never remember to disable the motion detector!!!!!

If I may be so bold and ask, Does the front brake lever always travel a fair way before the brakes apply? I was a control rider for a street skills day and found that the lever was traveling further and further as the day progressed. Is this Triumph's wear indicator?

Mark
