    Hello!

    02 Sprint RS owner for nearly a year. It was a great way to get back into bikes as it was affordable and in good condition for the age

    Used to have bikes when I was younger and raced a bit of MX (badly).

    Really enjoying the 955i engine. I've got to replace the pick up in the front wheel due to a speedo only working some of the time.

    If anyone is looking for a ride out, drop me a line.

    Thanks Jo,

    No decent photos, it's in black and comes up well after a clean. I'll post one soon. Cheers!

    Welcome GU955i!
    I've just sold my Daytona, have an 08 Scrambler now. I'm up near Ilfracombe, will give you a shout when I'm around S Molton - need to pick up cheese from the market and a pastie from Shapland & Searle soon :p

    Hi Andy.
    I saw a Daytona for sale in Ilfracombe, likely yours! Can't be that many in 'combe. I half an eye out out for other 955i variants. A Tiger would be nice. Look forward to catching up.

    I had a Daytona 955i Single sided swing arm. Great bike. Currently riding a tiger but a proper one, 885 Steamer.

    That's a great one! Perfect colour. I can remember having a Triumph brochure, 94 I think, that Dad picked up from Bridge. The Tiger looked great in there, along with the speed triple.

    I've seen a blue one on FB but it's too far away. Black is the right colour for that age.

    To be fair, the RS 955i is fine for me, the Tiger just keeps distracting me in the best way possible.
