    Hi, i am new to the forum and indeed to bikes, passed my test in February this year and decided that I loved triumphs and bought an 05 plates white speed triple, enjoyed every ride on it so far, done a few hundred steady miles! Tinkered with the suspension knobs a little as it seemed to be rock hard to begin with, i have re done the drag and drop link kits on the suspension and given it a good service! Cant wait for many more miles through the spring and summer, one thing that seems to have issues is the belly pan and flyscreen both have small cracks so if anyone knows where is a good source for replacement parts I would be extremely grateful. Thanks Scotty

    Hi and welcome, congratulations on your test pass. There is nothing better than getting on your first big bike, the trepidation and expectations are something to be cheerished...... nice bike by the way.

    Welcome to the Family. I would not worry to much about chips and cracks. Just ride and enjoy. Do get to know that little Triple as I say over and over again they have an attitude problem and like to surprise you if you are not expecting it. But listen to that triple ripple isn't that special. I swear they try to speak to you.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.
