Hello

Hi all,
Thought I’d say hello having just joined the group.
I’m now officially a triumph owner having bought myself a centennial edition 955i Daytona.
I’m currently having it resprayed as the grey and red combo wasn’t doing it justice I my view.
I’m a total newbie to biking but the thrill and pure pleasure I get every time I get on the bike is just unreal!
It’s now sat in bits in the garage awaiting all the parts back from paint work and I’m looking forward to getting her back on the road soon.
Not long now until Christmas either so some nice new decals bought for her too.
I look forward to meeting you and having a chat.
Best wishes,
Louis

 

Hi and welcome! Well you’ve got the right idea.... buy what you like then spend more money on it to make it more likier! Well done

 

Hi and welcome to the nut house you should fit right in
Tucker

PPS have a wonderful Christmas.
Ppps some of the inmates are crazy.

 

Hi mate and welcome

 

Hi and welcome.
Did I miss what colour it's going to be?
Black for Dilligaf!

 

Thanks for all the hellos
I’m going white body work and leaving the frame work as is for the moment.
Here’s what I looked like a few weeks ago ......
It had a small crack in one of the fairings too which I really wanted to repair and the big red hump at the back didn’t go with the bike.
Should have everything back in s few weeks.

 

Hello Louis and welcome to the forum

 

Welcome buddy

Keep the pics coming. We all love seeing the progress

Once you have completely wrapped it up......you will love it....she will be special

 

Welcome in Louis ! New to bikes ey ? Careful out there, it's pretty dangerous for bikers on the roads these days. Post pics when it's done, we'd love to see !

 

Thanks again everyone,
Yeah new to biking, I did my cbt years ago and when I got home after a brilliant day I was confronted with a very worried looking wife..... we were to be parents!
That was the end of the two wheeled dream did a bit.
Now 3 kids later and 10 years down the line I passed my test 4 weeks ago first time.
Had a call from the paint shop yesterday, everything should be ready for the weekend

 

Hi Louis and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be round soon with your 'Meds' and she'll want to see pics of your new toy !!!

 

Welcome in and that’s a nice blank canvas to play on

 

So I got all my bits back from paint this morning and set about the rebuild starting with the fuel tank and somehow or other I managed to snap the top fuel line connector, totally gutted as I was hoping for a Christmas Day ride.
I realised it was snapped as I turned the ignition on the pump kicked in and fuel was pissing everywhere.
Now I have to tap the plastic out and as it’s completely stuck. Fingers crossed it works as I really don’t want to have to buy a whole new fuel pump unit.
Oh well I’ll have to wait a few more days before my ride.
I’ve ordered the new one and will hopefully be back on it on the 28th
Lessons learnt to be more careful!!!

 

Hi Louis that sucks mate sorry to hear. Are you happy with the painted items though ? Hope you get it sorted.

 

Welcome in Louis!

Hope you enjoy thousands of safe miles on your new bike.

Oh! And ‚Merry Christmas‘

Cheers, Daniel

 

Yeah, your not the only one to snap the fuel line connector. Hi.

 

Hey Angus,
Paint work looks great, can’t wait to get the rest of he panels fitte now.
The 28th can’t come soon enough

 

Yeah, your not the only one to snap the fuel line connector.
That made me feel way better

 

Hi and welcome. Looking foward to seeing the pictures once you have the bike back together....
Wessa

 

Hello all once again,
I finally got the bike rebuilt and more importantly running, it took me the best part of 3 hours tinkering but that sweet sound is here once again.
Below is a little glimpse into the respray, I’ll post some better pics when the weathers better and I get her out in the sun
All the best for now,
Louis
