Hi,
Just come from the dark side,been riding a Hinkley Bonnie but have just bought a 02 Sprint ST with only 18000 klm on it.Waiting for everyone to tell me now what I should be looking out for and all the idiosycricies.
Going to miss the Bonnie,but its good to be in the 21st centuary.

G'day amanger.
Welcome to the bright side.
Congrats on your choice - the 02's are great models - what color did you get.
Suggest you take it to City Coast motorcycles at the Gong - ask for Martin - get them to check all the re-calls have been done - specially the rear axle bearing, if yours is in the Vin range effected.
On this list you will find "detlan" - he is the leader of the Gong Rat Pack - great bunch of guys.
Look out for the mail on the Triumph National Rally at Coffs Harbor - end Oct this year. Many are going from the Gong and Sydney.
Creat bike - many will tell you the 02 is the best model they made..

Yep,
Have done a check both recalls have been done.The sprint has only done 18,000 klm and been overserviced by the looks of all the paperwork and records.
Its retina burning bright red.
Have been on a few rides with Det and the boys on my Bonnie. Hope to be there for the ride next Sunday.
Andy :-D

Hi Andy
Welcome to the world of ST 
Where did you buy your bike from? It was a shame that you sold your Bonnie I real liked that bike.
Harry
Thanks for the good word :-D
Well I hope I will see you two on Sunday for the ride if you can make it.

Hey Andy - I like the term " retina burning bright red " Unless you have a paint job, they call it "tornado red.."

hi and welcome to Sprint country, keep the Bonnie if you can, a trip to the dark side every now and again is good for the soul.

I hate to correct you but welcome to the dark side, the sportier Sprint, though a Sport Tour, is still considered a sport bike, which is the dark side.
"Luke I am your Father"..
Enjoy the fun..
