Hi Guys,

I thought that I would post this article incase it had not been seen or mentioned before... It has me worried.

Thomson's worst fears were confirmed when MCN reader Richard Mathews, from Swansea, wrote to us to say:
"Triumph brakes could have ended my life"
On a touring holiday in Germany, Matthew's blamed sudden brake fade on a Triumph Sprint 1050, which caused him to run wide into a corner and hit a metal fence.
Matthew's was left with multiple fractures in both legs, lung contusions, a crushed pancreas and internal bleeding.
Matthew said "I am livid with what's happened to me - it makes my blood boil. Triumph needs to rectify this problem immediately."
They had run an entire article about brake fade problems on sprint st 1050 and speed triple models. It has me worried. Has anybody experienced anything like this. I don't think this has anything to do with with the 'mushy brake' issue some people complain of.
I'd like some feedback on this, or if you have read the article in question ... your opinion.
Something to worry about ?
