[ST] ST longevity

["CAPT Howard S. Serlick USNR" <serlick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello John and everyone:
	I just addressed this issue on the Hinckley 
Triumph Digest this morning. I believe that we 
have a fellow ST Digester that has about 110K 
miles on his ST.
	I have a '00 Blue ST that was purchased new on 
November 29, 1999. I just had the 30K service done 
last week. I ride five days a week, all seasons 
and temps. Still have the original battery that 
cranks perfectly and not one mechanical complaint. 
I have changed my front fork internals to Racetech 
springs and emulators, added the European 
head/tailight switch, added the rear Tri hugger & 
chain guard and changed my windscreen to a "double 
bubble" style aftermarket unit. I have replaced 
the rear brake pads twice, fronts pads once and 
use OEM pads with no complaints or problems with 
the rotors. I replaced the stock Regina chain with 
a DID gold x-ring chain a year and 9 months ago. 
Still have the original sprockets which look new. 
I take very good care of my machine and it takes 
very good care of me. The bike is rock solid at 
any speed. I get 43 to 46 miles to the gallon at 
high speeds (80- 100 mph).
Happy holidays,
Howard Stephen Serlick
