Re: New bike day
Looks nice that and the OE can is reasonable sized compared to a lot of the dustbins bikes have nowadays.

Re: New bike day
Well its been a while , mainly as its done nothing but rain since i bought the bike, but finally took it for its first
service last week {£115} so not too bad.
The main thing i look for when buying a bike these days is comfort, my knackered joints mean my sport bike days
are long gone and the Triumph fits me very well . Its feels light and is narrow with wide bars .
Biggest surprise is the engine , for a revy engine it is very flexible . Will pull smoothly in 6th from 30mph no problem.
Has plenty of power and handles two up riding with ease. It a lovely smooth engine , clutch is light so i have not been
using the quick shifter but is does work well when i tried it. Brakes and suspension all good , although i may have
a play with the settings now its run in.
Happy with my purchase , good all rounder which should serve me well.

Re: New bike day
Were you in East Lothian today? Two English guys chatting bikes outside our local Aldi this evening and one had the exact bike down to colour.
