    Hi guys, just purchased my first triumph, a 675R from Bridge in Exeter. After leaving the Navy after 22yrs I thought I'd treat myself to something special, my previous bike was a 2002 Zx636 which I bought from new.
    This will also be the first time I will have used a quick shifter. :smile:
    Although as I now work offshore I am unable to pick it up to mid June:frown: But a quick question, don't want to ride it down to Plymouth without some form of tank pad, anyone bought anything decent online for the 2013 675?

    Welcome to the site. If you asked the dealer nicely then I'm sure they won't mind since you have just spent 1000's at their dealership. Enjoy your bike and thanks for your services ;)

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Like Kradser if I wasn't so old and well err big I would definitely have had one. Occasionally I take out the wife's Street Triple and love that 675 motor :upyeah:
