New bike day.

Post by 636mick »

So I actually bought this a few weeks ago but I’ve been doing bits and pieces, changed the panniers as I don’t like the Triumph ones, crash bars, screen. 17500 miles on a 15 plate, exactly what I was looking for at a good price too.
There’s some corrosion on the rear wheel spots, couple of marks but handles much better that the 2012 version I had.
This is my fourth Triumph so I think I’m a Triumph man, it’s also my retirement bike, fingers crossed.

I like that! Hope you get to enjoy many long rides on the Triumph.

Just about got it how I want it now. Luggage replaced, bar risers, screen changed, couple of other bits and pieces. Now comfortable and ready for a tour. 20k service due in a few hundred miles so might get it booked in somewhere as I can’t be bothered to do the valve checks.
Done about 2500 miles since I got it so happy with it now.
