Just seen it, get it to the menders.

What's wrong with the Triumph?

I winterised it because I have a six year old (late model), yet totally immaculate, never been dropped, rarely seen rain, and bog standard Daytona 955i, with less than 5000 miles on the clock, and there's probably very few in the country like it, so I want to keep it that way.

EDIT: So no! I have no intention of sticking an aftermarket exhaust on it!

OOOh, just looked through the wad of receipts that came with the bike and one of them is for powder coating the wheels and painting a pin stripe on them so it's not rim tape at all.

Not so chavvy after all

Like sovereign rings with actual sovereigns in them, big hoop earrings made of real gold, or a genuine burberry baseball cap...

Looks in decent nick. I really like the fat GSXR's

Just need to get her de-stickered and maybe a service and you're sorted. I see it looks to have the stock brake lines on it so they be the first to go for some new braided ones. Possible a fork & shock service too if it hasn't been already.

Enjoy the new machine though
