Well after 4 years with the Tiger 955i, easily one of the best bikes I have owned, it has gone to a new home. What has replaced the Tiger shaped gap in my garage?................a 1995 Triumph Sprint. Are they gasps of shock and horror I hear? I have had a good few years with a variety of modern triumphs, 1998 T509 Speed Triple in Lucifer orange, 2000 955i Daytona (T595 shape), 2004 Tiger 955i and now the 1995 Sprint. Having just retired I wanted a bike that would benefit from a a bit of work, (between maintenance intervals the Tiger only ever needed cleaning) would still be capable of touring and had a bit of character. I wasn't keen on the naked bikes or the fully faired jobbies......this Sprint came along in the right condition, with the right mileage and more importantly at the right price. I pick it up later this month and will post some 'as bought' photos. I enjoy the forums unless they become overly political and that's usually my cue to exit stage right. I've had bikes since i was 11 years old and just enjoy good humoured craic with like minded folk. Cheers All, George
Fentible. Welcome to the Family. Nothing wrong with the sprints I love them. You seem like you will fit right in here in the asylum the inmates will assist you when nursey comes round with your meds. Do stay away from the Brexit thread as it will fill you with dread. But it's all in good heart as everyone knows best. But here the inmates are more like family than just bikers. Yes you will love it. Ride Safe & Enjoy. Joe.
Good morning George and welcome in. I agree with your comments about different forms of social media, forums. That's why I don't do facebook anymore. Too much for me, and way too serious! Ride safe and enjoy.
Hi Fentible I recollect you from the T595.net site before it went shite then dead LOL welcome along mate this place is good
