View Full Version : Au revoir??
Soooooo after 5 years on the SV I said good bye to it today and have joined the Trumpet club!!
Bagged myself a lovely little '11 plate 675 Daytona!
Am I now to be ostracised from the Org?? Or can I stay?

Can you stay? No yer barred, no one on here likes Triumphs or even rides one, sling yer hook and be off with you. Been nice knowing you...
Nice colour BTW!
You can stop for me mate,two heads are better than one,even if there sheeps!!!
Haha thanks chucca! I'll get me coat....
But yeah the colour drew me to it instantly, fell madly in last with it and then took it for a spin yesterday and fell in love!
Is it possible to be a blue sheep of the flock Trev!? Haha

Are you sure that the bike in that picture is not a model and you have used forced perspective to make it look full sized? :smt077
Nice bike though, needs more silver to make it really pretty though. :smt044

Yes, silver is the only colour to have
Hahaha!! If only!
I do feel like a clown riding it, it's tiny!! I never thought anything short of a 125 would make the SV feel big but there you go!
Sadly the weather didn't play ball today that was the only 5 mins of sunshine for me! If the weather picks up tomorrow I'll be heading out to stretch her legs and I'll get some more pics up!
The only thing I think it's missing really is a seat cowl and crash bungs. Came with a lovely sounding arrow can. But any suggestions for prettying up are welcome Jayne!
I'm slightly sadend to lose the throaty grumble and gargle of the twin, but it has its own voice which is nice, not quite IL4 scream.

Actually i think you eventually get banned if you DON'T buy a triumph.

Congratulations. One of the admins should be in touch shortly to give you access to the secret Triumph-owners-only section of the site ;)
Errrr thanks Bib, I'll look forward to that..... Or could I just walk off in to the sunset with that sad walking away song from the hulk playing?

I have always wanted one of these, there is another contender too, so I shall just have to wait and see where this thread goes for when I can finally get myself another bike.
Thanks for all the love peeps!
Took her out today, wasn't able to get properly used to her as it started to rain as is typical!
Bloody lovely though, scared the nuts off me above 10k!! Don't think the fact it is soooooo much lighter helps in that respect haha
Get a decent loud can! Oh, and before you buy anything else or pay your mortgage or pay your leccy bill, buy a quickshifterrrr!!!!!!!!! Plug and play on your bike gogogogogogogo

Hahaha thanks Tom, I'll bear that in mind! Think I want some shorty levers first though!
It does have a nice Arrow can on there already, which I believe has already "lost" the baffle down a bumpy Road as it wasn't there when I went to remove it hehe
No. Levers later they are bling. Quickshifter takes priority as its a safety item. Overtakes are much safer.

Only the new ones. Use your Google fu and see for yourself.
Edit: done it for you. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/triumph/tiger-955i/2001/
Lol. Well I thought you were looking at another new bike to add to the fleet
The 1000 Storm is very nice matt.
Sat on one up the London bike show.
But the new tiger 800 is v nice.
The Tiger sport is a road bike with adventure styling.
Very nice though.

The 1000 strom is an extremely nice bike. Don't rub it in, I'm utterly brassic.

Really Tom....really....
I'm not averse to one but at the best part of £300 I'm alright for an occasional overtake lol

Get a second hand one for £150 and sell it when you are done for £150. I'd you are only doing occasional overtakes you aren't progressive enough ;)

Also we've seen you ride and "occasional overtakes" doesn't cover it, unless you mean occasionally you're NOT overtaking.

I'll second that! Quickshifter should be the next purchase for added warp speed!
Changing gear with it becomes addictive!

I value my life a little bit more than you ;)

The QS on the triumph are brilliant.
1 to 2 though caches me out. But then that's not recommended.
Read some concerning things about them breaking though....
But it may be down to aftermarket rear sets which I don't have so fingers crossed!
My daytona has done 12,000. On the oe one. No problem
It's the same as your unit
Well went out this morning for a little bit, still not used to its size, will be a while before I'm chucking it around like the SV!! Certainly not very "progressive" as Tom put it!
Got home and gave her a bath!

Just got the call to say seat cowl has arrived. Getting a QS fitted in a couple of weeks!
Finally invested in a paddock stand, made cleaning a hell of a lot easier, plus I can lube the chain on my own now ☺️

It's currently got an Arrow on there, no idea what one but it has a carbon tip (snigger)

And apparently no baffle as this appears to be the fixing point for one. Not fussed as no MOT issues, had a new one put on today

No worries buddy, they'll do it for free, only bugger is having to wait a couple of weeks to get it fitted. Only free every other Saturday and they are booked up this sat, thankfully due to the way my holiday has worked out I am off the sat after otherwise it would have been 3 weeks!!
Still, gonna be a while till I get to use it. Not much call for a QS on my c1mile commute to work lol
Unless you do a track day the baffles no big issue.
You got tune ecu lead etc.
Unfortunately mine has a locked ecu.
So can only be mapped by the dealer.
Same with the service light.
Once you get used to the QS your wounder how's you ever got on before.
It's so good even for steady rideing
Ah, I do plan on doing track days!! May need to source a baffle, wonder if arrow would give me one out of the kindness of their hearts? Lol
A what lead!?
The lead from the pc to the bike for tune ecu programme to work.
You said hi on
http://www.675.cc/675/
Probably won't bother with trying to play with that, best I stay away from anything technical haha
Not yet, not ventured any further than the Org to be honest, apart from when Google led me to a forum when I was researching the QS but I can't remember which one it was!
Jump in
Red 675 is legend.
Yes his real and actually a fairly decent chap.
Nice. These bikes look the nuts. I sat on one at the bike show and it really is face down ass up, my knees hurt just sitting on it for 5 minutes. Still looks awesome though

Thats cos you are a grumpy sod Winder.
That is a nice looking bike. Me likey.
Soooooo got the QS fitted today, thankfully the rain stopped just before having to leave, had a little bimble and oh my!!!
Was very weird to start with, I kept letting off the throttle to change up out of habit, finally got used to it though. I can't believe these things are even legal they are that much fun!! Haha
Ps, me and my wallet hate you Tom. But my credit card company loves you.

Took my daytona out after 6 months off the road.
It's a bit of a fright how quickly you get up to interesting speeds.
Just been out myself, seconded how quick it is!!
Also very odd, got home and had a weird black crap on my front fender!
Removed most but it looks like this
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/01/caf1406725cfc7c90c7cb835e9c2efdc.jpg
Think the fender has been rubbing against the tyre
Think it is due to mounting my drift under the nose, as there are scuff marks on the camera and it had almost fallen off!
