Me: Ya leaving?
Him: Yes

That's a very tasty looking motorbicycle and the second Triumph posted on here in as many days that I've liked.Trinity765 wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2023 6:03 pm It's been a long day with lots happening. One of those days when it's coming at you from all angles. But, I did pick up my new bike and put a whopping 40 miles on the clock - it was hard learning to ride a Street Triple again after a Speed Twin. I've only had a couple of hours sleep and my brain wasn't working that quick so I took a few pics and got it home for another sunny day.

I may try this.Skub wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:08 pmThat's a very tasty looking motorbicycle and the second Triumph posted on here in as many days that I've liked.Trinity765 wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2023 6:03 pm It's been a long day with lots happening.
