    Until someone shows a nice new model and we all yes all Joe thinks that's nice I'll have to go and have a closer look at that see what is different from my last year's model or we get nostalgic like I did thanks to @Regit nogara yes Tony showed off his Bonneville and I saw a nice legend in syncro's showroom which I missed out on but the Thunderbird being of the same colours and with a similar look scratched that itch:D

    Well peeps now got about eighty miles on the clock. Hard work trying to keep that rev limiter to below five thousand. Several time to day i strayed north of the limiter. Can't believe the difference in weight compared with the Bonneville's.

    100% agree with that. I thought I was done, but the 'itch' told me different.
    That's a bonny bike @joe mc donald you enjoy it...;)

    @learningtofly Thanks. After my ride i found it to ever so smooth and ride perfectly. Perhaps the seat is a little harder than i would like but not over hard. Finding it a lot lighter than the Bonnies.

    @Pedro1340 Much further down the line and i do have a pair a great member supplied me with. But i do like the mirrors on there they are clear and no obstruction at all. First thing i want to get is the little fly screen.

    I had a thin layer of extra foam put into my Street Triple seat Joe when I had it recovered and it made a huge difference. It was nowhere near as costly as you might think either.

    Is it just me or are bikes now like cars as they all seem to look the same! Need to be close enough to see the badge to know the brand.

    Sorry Joe but I do really think it's ugly.

    It's a shame that Triumph dealers also now seem to not want to know older models even Hinkley ones enquired with the dealer here via email about service on my 97 T300 Trophy 900 two weeks ago and heard nothing back they just don't seem to want the work!

    If the mechanics can't plug into the bike they are lost.
    I agree about new bikes, they don't have the soul.
