Hi all, got my first Triumph 3 months ago, it’s proving to be a great all rounder. I’m very near Whiteways Cafe in West Sussex hopefully see some folks around.
Welcome, see you up there. I usually end up there a few times per month. I have had 3 speedies including a white 05, great bike. did like to loft the front at times, sometime a little unexpectedly
Tim Hatcher. Welcome to the family. Lovely machine there bet those arrows sing to you. Was at Bulldog today they were starting a Bonneville with arrows. Boy did it roar almost deafened me. Definitely not motable don't know what some has done to them but not a nice sound just a racket. Your black steed will go down a treat with some of the peeps on here. Black seems to be in. Ride Safe & Enjoy. Joe.
Oh, Joe! You had me doubting my sanity when I read your post. I found myself (briefly, admittedly) wondering how anyone could - and indeed would want to - start a bike using arrows, especially when Triumph had fitted a perfectly good starter motor for that very purpose. Thankfully the penny dropped and I twigged what you were saying. I think I need some extra meds when Nursey next does her rounds!!
StevetheGoolie. You know little arrows everywhere. Even better on a Triumph. My Boy has the arrow on his 675 racing version and it makes my ears tingle. Triumph do indeed fit very useful starter motors don't know what I was thinking about. Maybe I need stronger meds aswel. Will talk to nursey tonight and don't worry I will mention your predicament aswel. Ride Safe. jOE.
