    Brought home my new to me 2007 Sprint ST 1050 today. It was very windy, raining hard and I was on brand new Bridgestone 023s. Throw in unfamiliar roads and a bike I've never ridden before........
    Anyway, we got home OK, just over 50 miles and so far so good.

    I'm sure I will have plenty of questions in the future, thanks for approving my joining this forum.
    Colin

    Welcome to the Family. Yes a picture would be nice for all the inmates. Helps Nursey administer our meds. I love the Sprints and seems you tested yours quite well. But the Sprint takes all weathers in its stride. Suppose new tyres and all that was a bit weary bedding them in. But good tyres do handle the conditions quite well after warming up.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.
