Just a little one.
What are the rules on wearing modern gear on a classic bike? Do I have to buy a brown jacket, blue jeans, motorcycle trainers and grow a mustache?

No screen, no matter how small, you'll look good with a neck as wide as your head.

Very nice. Must be a weight off your shoulders now. Health to ride on the new whip. I do like the Speed Twins, would like to try one someday. That orange suits it actually, looks awful on the Trident.

I had a Dart screen on my Thruxton. I liked it as it just looked right.

Re: The future's bright, the future is
That screen suits it very well. And you can dump your old (modern) biking gear in the clothing bank at the backTrinity765 wrote: Mon Oct 24, 2022 12:56 pm Just a little one.

Re: The future's bright, the future is
I have a Scrambler 1200 XE. Great bikes - so the Street Twin is no difference.
I have a small flyscreen on mine - but , TBH, it's not a faired bike !

All the old gits, posting pictures of their Triumphs with screens, making their bikes look like old man bikes
It'll be heated grips and hard luggage next, wearing textile riding suits and discussing mpg, next thing you know you're buying a BMW and wondering if you smell of wee.
