    First of all, condolences to Mrs Tony and yourself.
    Secondly, the Beemer slots in nicely :grinning:

    @learningtofly Sure is a nice bike mate. Lots of chrome there to shine. And looks quite at home there in your new garage. Something to look forward to when you get the sad days over. Hope you get some sunshine to enjoy.

    Thanks matey - yes, a fair bit of chrome to keep shiny. Will probably have all the appropriate bits ceramic coated, actually.

    I'm loving it, Joe. It's bloody powerful and far too much of a handful in Dynamic mode for now, so it's back in Road. Much tamer!

    I've now done my best to pin down the extras on the bike, although the number plate is valued on the basis of the B12 TNY that I found listed for sale. It may be a few quid out but it's not a bad result.

    My sympathy to Bea and you, Tony. It's always hard to say a final goodbye to someone you love even if circumstances render their passing as something of a blessing. :pensive:

    Your new bike truly is beautiful. :heart_eyes: I hope you thoroughly enjoy every minute with it!

    What a bike. Such a lot of power, and so beautiful.

    I must have had about half a dozen people come and talk to me about it in the hour or so it was parked up at the local aerodrome.

    Cheers Joe, although you surely couldn’t be tempted by another new bike, could you? ;)

    @learningtofly As you all know my confidence in Triumph has faded some what. But looking at that Beauty you have is tempting. Who knows.
