    Hi all, newbie here.

    Got my hands on a 2000 955i Speed Triple yesterday, sadly a non runner that has been in storage since it's head blew in 2014 - Bought with the intention of fixing it and riding it.

    Had a variety of bikes over the years, from Bandit 600's, supersport 600's all the way up to a Pan 1300 and Blackbird 1100 - My first time owning a Triumph though.

    Should be fun :)

    Thanks for the welcomes all :)

    Hope to be on the road soon, hopefully before the end of summer as the roads of the North are calling - After sourcing a new engine it seems.

    Cheers folks

    Put fresh oil in her today and she spluttered into life - head has definitely gone although I've cheated slightly and have another engine on the way, hopefully have it in by mid week next week :)
