It is nice but I couldn't work out what it was. I suppose counting the downpipes would have been a clue.
Where ever I lay my hat.....

I'm not quite sure why, but I quite like that! Well done Sir

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

From the man that despises any Triumph bearing the logo where the tail of the "R" joins the "H" from the left hand side .... that's praise indeed.
Glad you've found another new ride kiwi - let us know how you get on with it.

I wouldn't go that far bud. They do make good bikes, it's just their ethics and marketing tactics are way out of line IMO. Anyway, won't get in to that argument now..lol.

Top bit of kit! Modern Triumphs are some of the best built bikes available at the moment.
