    Hey everyone!! I'm new here as well as new to Triumphs. I'm from B.C Canada. I bought a 2009 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 last week. She most definitely needs some loving as the previous owner really did little to no maintenance by the looks of it as well as dumped it multiple times. I'm no mechanic but I'm fairly mechanical inclined so Iit'll be some work but I look forward to making it my own Thanks for having me.

    I just had a good look at your pictures and I noticed that the front brake calipers look like new I suppose probably because of the condition of the rest of the bike the brakes were rarely used :joy:
