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.

I wear vaguely retro gear on my old bike, but it's retro for the wrong period :thumbup:

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.

That screen suits it very well. And you can dump your old (modern) biking gear in the clothing bank at the back

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.

But not my top box - aren't they std issue on BMW tourers. Apparently they develop a death weave if they don't have them on.

And god forbid people post picture on motorbikes on a motorbike forums.
