    Hi I have just bought my first Triumph a 2005 Speed Triple after years of old Zed's. Look forward to asking loads of questions as I navigste my way around the bike. First job is to fit the 08 grab rail and a number plate hanger to get rid of the standard oversized rear mudguard.

    I always use my old Zed's whatever the weather no problem with others buying as an investment but to me a bike is for using a picture for looking at. Just sold my last Zed so for now just the Speed Triple and H4H cafe racer in the garage.
