Re: Drifting over from the Explorer side...
Oh Dear. Having collected the Twin from Stafford, and riding it back to Essex, I have to say I was not 'loving' it. Persevered, but after 5 weeks I decided it wasn't for me, and I sold it (for the same price I paid for it). What went wrong? I found the riding position a tad too forward; the heat fro...

Re: Drifting over from the Explorer side...

Re: Drifting over from the Explorer side...
Welcome Champy :thumbup: Nidge of this parish has a Speed Twin (as well as an old T160). Really rates it. Hi! I have read so many positive reviews about the Speed Twin, it just seems to be the perfect bike for my requirements! The Tiger Explorer has become just too heavy, unwieldy and too tall for ...

Re: Drifting over from the Explorer side...
Beautiful Slabby, dunno why you'd want to sell it :) I passengered on a BEARS out with for a couple of year with BHR. With the racing, the Explorer and the Speed Twin, little time to wrestle with this rocket! I did buy it for parading in between acquiring sidecar outfits, and also I thought it may ...

Show us some pics of your Slabby!

Mew to this forum as I collect my 2109 Speed Twin on 15th July - can't wait! :banana-wrench: Also am a member of the Triumph Explorer 1200 forum, which I found extremely friendly and very helpful! Still have a 2012 Explorer which unfortunately had a major gearbox problem. Can't get parts unt...
