Sold it to buy a bloody GS, what was I thinking.

Out of the 80 or so bikes I've owned since I was 17 it was one of these I kept for the shortest time ... I think it was under a week....

Any bike where the handlebars are so far away you are lying on the tank just to reach them

The most uncomfortable experience I've ever had on 2wheels :rob

Right then... I'm back off to munchkin land

750cc?

It was yes. I looked high and low for a minty 900 at the time and couldn't find one. A guy in one of the Triumph dealerships told me that the last two really nice ones he heard of ended up going to Japan. Still look a them now and then and wonder about getting another.

Here's my Tiger 1050 that I had before the GS

The original Hinckley Speed Triples remind me of the Laverda Jota, in the sense that even standing still, they look decidedly NOT for the fainthearted or inexperienced.

Tried a Daytona late in 2003. Got it on the bay. Pristine with only 1800 miles and a custom Wunoff 3 barrel under seat exhaust. Loud or what. Had to re-fit standard system for MoT later. I moved on to a Buell and my lad took it on as his first bike after finding out that bike riding is fun and doing all the modern style training for test.

2009 Triumph Thruxton

I've had a 1993 1200 Trophy
1996 900 Daytona
1997 900 Tiger
but the thruxton is the most characterful of the set

That looks nice Steve :thumb2

If you fancy swaping those amber indicator lenses for ones that have been smoked inside let me know :augie

Very similar to my rebuilt 1958 Triumph T100 Tiger, which has a massively different ride to my earlier 1050 Sprint ST (Sprint sold to fund the 1200 GS era, and GSA panniers that actually fit an Arai helmet!).

Scrambler

Fancied a Scrambler for years and finally got round to doing a deal on an 18 month old one from Pidcocks Triumph on Saturday.

Pick it up in a couple of weeks once they have fitted the Arrow 2 into one exhaust

Hopefully it will have stopped snowing by then

I was torn between a scrambler and a thruxton and chose the latter
but love the look of that scrambler
I can vouch that "arrow" exhausts sound the real deal :thumby:

PS: make sure the dealer tweaks the ecu for the ARROWS to avoid "flat spots"
