    Hi guys. I will soon be the owner of an Orange Speed twin. For those who may have seen it I won the Triumph Scrambler on the giveaway guys last week. The following night I had won the bike I went to a local bike night and one parked up next to me. So I asked the owner if I could sit on it. His was the XC version so slightly smaller than the XE I won.

    Anyway the upshot is that they are too tall for me. I was balls of my feet on the ground on his bike. Which is way too tall for me to be comfortable with. So when I was contacted by the Triumph dealer I explained and he said well we can offer you cash so I said what about a new Speed twin . He went away to think about it and then rang me back to say either cash or a speed twin. I said I would think about it and he said I'm away for a few days so ring me when I get back.

    So I rang them yesterday and am going to be the owner of a brand new Speed twin. I had also specced up a few items on the Speed twin and the upshot is they are giving me a bike with all the extras I asked for :) The only issue is I need to wait til early Jan for an Orange one. They have a red one which I can have next month but the SWMBO doens't like red bikes so that a no then.

    I also popped over to Pidcocks and took a Street twin out yesterday ( they have a speed twin coming next month sao I will be up there again). I must admit they are a lovely thing to ride.
