    The Sales Manager at BMW Park Lane says you are a jammy so-and-so for picking up his favourite R9T model.

    Put a replacement exhaust bracket on - also Unit Garage - in addition to the new end can and link pipe as it matches the frame. All done, though, and I'd describe the whole job as very fiddly rather than difficult.

    Look and sounds amazing.

    Was just mulling over the two bikes I've ended up with... perfection really, and I genuinely couldn't want for more. (Well...)

    Just a bit of bike porn, then, both taken at Elstree Aerodrome in Hertfordshire.

    @learningtofly they are beautiful indeed. I reckon true perfection can be reached with the removal of the reflectors from the forks on the Triumph.....please forgive the weird thing that ChatGPT appears to have done to the indicator.....

    You are indeed the owner of two beautiful bikes, Tony! I hope you truly enjoy them! (And get some weather in which to do just that). Merry belated Christmas to you. And Happy New Year! :heart:

    Yes, we could definitely stand for 2026 to be a little (or a lot) kinder, Tony. :heart:

    @learningtofly To true such beautiful machines. Makes me a little envious in a nice way.

    That is one impressive looking machine. I am one for attention to detail and that particular bike seems to have high quality parts in abundance.

    Thank you, much appreciated. It really is a two-wheeled work of art.
