    image.jpeg Hi All, I have just come back to biking after many years away. I started in the 70's and enjoyed my Jap bikes now I have just got a Triumph Sprint ST (2010) and love it. Only been out on it half a dozen times bit heavy on the wrists but I am sure I will get used to it.

    Welcome Bruce, I love the color but I might be a tad prejudiced toward red :).

    Hi and welcome, that looks sweet for a seven year old bike, somebody's looked after it very well.

    It had a bit of road salt damage on the rear but with a bit of elbow grease and powder coating came up good.

    Hi Bruce, welcome. Some more time on the bike will sort those wrists right out ! Other members on here with similar bikes could possibly comment if whether one could lift the height of the bars a tad for more comfort. Safe riding.
