    I've been a sports bike rider for 40 years, but my aching joints have screamed enough! All that headbanging in the 80's to Motorhead and Saxon at The Mayfair in Toon hasn't helped either. So I am getting a Triumph Trident in the spring. I took one out for a test ride and was pleasantly surprised. I currently have a Gen 4 ZX10R. I was worried about dropping from 187 BHP at the back wheel, to 80. The fun factor and pure comfort of the Trident put all that unusable loss of power worry out of my mind.
    I'm joining here prematurely, but I'd like to find out what aftermarket parts folk are thinking about.
