Sup everyone, im Baron and i ride and tinker (mostly tinker with) my 97 Daytona T595. Im not very well versed in the ways of the triple and am a bit of a mechanical hand grenade! I thought id jump into a forum to try and ask for assistance from folk with a much better understanding of the cons of owning my pride and joy. Greetings to you all!
Welcome mate, from another Daytona owner. I’m sure you’ll enjoy her, when you’ve stopped pulling your hair out.
Welcome Baron,I'm a new member myself. I noticed you posted some photos of the white helmets.Are you ex signals by any chance?
Indeed, spent 3 years with the team. Profile photo was at this years reunion, one of the lads brought an old circa 1970s Trumpet with the foot controls on the wrong sides, was a proper mad ride! Did 18yrs with the sigs, im obviously out now.
Ah good stuff mate,I'm an ex para for my sins 12 years + 1 in junior's.Any pics of your daytona would be good.It was a sad day when the helmets stopped,they were great,you should be proud mate.
I am proud, it was a sad day, went to the last ever show. I done a tour of Sierra Leone with 2 Para, D coy. Big up to the Paras like, pure soldiers through and through. I have an album of my Daytona in the Gallery. Me and the missus have been pimping it up for a while. Money troubles keep it a long project. I have an exhaust bracket to make this month, ive made a template but the ally was too thin to work full time, gotta be responsible and make a stronger one. I also have decals and what not to sort out, but its getting there. From red racer to satin black in no less than a year lol
Keep at it mate,I think there is a lot of info on this forum.Never went to Leone,I'm an old git I came out in 94.
I see you've got a cruise control on the throttle, it's the same as mine and I couldn't ride without it, my fingers don't go numb anymore since I fitted it.
yep, broke my neck and my arms were paralysed for a while, physiod myself to death till I could lift a bike again (moved away from cruisers and chose lighter bikes lol) the throttle boss was pennies for three on Wish. A worth while buy as you don’t get wankers cramp if your riding for hours.
Baron Welcome to the family. Yes you are getting there. Do keep us all in the picture with news and pictures. Regards & Ride Safe. Joe.
