Just changed from a '92 fireblade to a 2011 speed triple. So far so good, impressed by the big triple, and love the comfort now my wrists are over the hill Any good meets in Yorkshire? Cheers Matt.
Hi, Matt and welcome. I suppose (arguably) the main meeting point would be Squires at Newthorpe just outside Sherburn in Elmet. Seaways at Fridaythorpe is another popular venue as is the nearby Log Cabin near Wetwang. Depends on which part of West Yorkshire you're in. Hawes is popular with bikers though I can't remember the name of the cafe where they all seem to head for.
Matt1050. Welcome to the family. You know we need a picture of the steed. Keeps the inmates quite for nursey to administer our meds. Ride Safe & Enjoy. Joe.
Nice looking bike Matt, common cause for the cracked headlamp lens is the fitting of higher wattage bulbs, the extra heat has been known to cause the lens to be damaged in a couple of ways, including melting and discolouration. Sadly they aren’t cheap to replace. Can you superglue the crack as a temporary measure to prevent ingress of moisture?
That’s a tidy example I also had sportsbike 2000 R1 and traded in for 2011 triple,far more comfy with just enough oomph to keep you happy.
Hi Matt, whereabouts in west Yorkshire are you? A mate in Castleford wanted new headlights for his street triple and bought some good after market ones quite cheaply.
@ Eldon, I'm in Normanton, next town along I sourced some originals in the end, so it's looking pretty again. Just need to get the suspension set-up now. Oh, and some sunshine would be nice ! Cheers, Matt.
