    Hi and thanks for the add.
    I finally got my hands in another lightning yellow 1999 Daytona 955 17 years after first owning one.
    I have owned around 60 bikes over the years - yea I am an old fart
    Triumph wise t160, daytoma 955, two 1050 speed triples. Tiger 1050abs, tiger 1050 sport.
    In the mix I have owned busa blade, gilera 50 kx500 660 supermoto multistrada1200s and the list goes on and on.
    Have to say out of all the bikes I have owned, the 955 is still my favorite although it's a pain to ride until I get my top yoke conversion sorted.
    I hail from Paignton Devon U.K.

    Thanks for the welcomes guys.
    Hope to be sharing some stories soon when I get my bikes on the road soon.
    Missed out a little on the cracking may bank holiday. Only went out once on the 'tona thanks to a saw neck and that I am waiting for top yoke conversion.

    I did go to the BMAD event which was the best I have been to so far. I huge number of bikes turned up including a mental V8 with nitrous - the huge blue bike in the pic. 358bhp. Insane !!!
