    APC_0259.jpg New rider here, splashed out on a Street Cup for my first bike. Wanted a Triumph for years and finally got it!

    Based in SW London, originally from Cambridge. Got 500 miles on the bike (plus a few teething problems) and absolutely loving it so far.

    Welcome but labelling yourself as ATGNI might be counter productive:)

    Figured I should get the joke in before someone else did haha.

    Thanks for the warm welcome all!

    Teething problems - safety recall on the Street Cups due to wiring loom issues. It was supposed to be a quick fix to lengthen the hazard lights wire, but it was causing my engine to cut out whenever I straightened my handlebars. 2 weeks in the garage but finally back on the bike!

    does anyone remember the programme with the same name,its was amusing but typical yanks using hammers etc to smash up parts of bikes,did produce some decent makeovers though and some not so decent not enough non race related bike veiwing on the box anymore.
