    Hello everyone,

    Originally from Newcastle, now living in the Netherlands. My 1985 GPZ 900 was getting a bit long in the tooth so I recently bought a 2006 Daytona 955i to replace it. What a lovely machine. Don't know much about Triumph motorcycles and new fangled stuff like electronic engine management so thought I'd join up and learn from those who do. Lets see if I can the hang of making a post first....

    Cheers,

    Joe

    Nice one, Jay! Welcome.:)
    Had a Daytona 955i Centennial myself a while back but had to sell it when I had health problems.:( Lovely bike, and I still miss it, though I do know it went to a good home.
    You will learn lots on here, including how to speak fluent Gibberish!:eek:o_O

    Hello Joe and welcome in the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be round with your meds very soon.

    Daytona 955i eh ? That engine is a peach. Had one in my 2006 Tiger 955i (different tune tho') and was very impressed with it.

    Hi Chuk. here is a pic of the Daytona in the dealers. I don't have any others at the mo.The only decent pics of the gpz are prints. I'll see if I can find and scan. Got somedigital pics on the garage on blocks before I traded it in. I'll see if can find them but don't do the bike justice. :)

    GPZ 9 needing new forks. My first and only new bike was a lovely black and gold GPZ 900 rocket ship. realised I had to have one after crashing my Z650 on Stanhope Moor chasing my mate on his A1 GPZ.....Got away with a broken wrist ;)
