    I think I didn't prime the bike enough as well as the battery needing a good charge, been a while since I have had bikes with carbs instead of EFI.

    The Honda is going away for the frame to be chopped and welded and then blastng and powdercoating and just waiting for a response form the insurance company about the Trident to make a start getting that back on the road.

    It's going to be a busy winter but hoping to have at least 2 bikes on the road by spring.

    Right better get back to work and look busy before the boss turns up :wink:

    Took the Daytona out yesterday to Destination Triumph at Guildford and ordered a few bits for it.

    The bike seems to get better the more I ride it and it seems a lot easier to start when cold than before.

    Fitted Evotech radiator and oil cooler guards to the Speed and some cotton reels to the Street. I have a radiator guard for the Street but think it may be the wrong one so will have to make a call to Evotech tomorrow

    Was going to take the Daytona to work today but the bloody thing decided that it didn't want to start.. :mad:

    Starting to think this bike is female as it's a bit tempremental.

    And after work I went out to the garage and the dam thing started first time:frown:

    Also, why the new rad? Looked and can't see a connected post.

    PR3s are great, aren't they? x
