Default Another bike in the garage??

Well I AM THE ONE that stated back in early 60s I would never have an oiley Triumph after having kept Castrol in business with a Bonnievoil.
BUT today I have added a Triumph 675 Street Triple to the growing line up, now 4 with engines.

However I have had to promise that 1/2 will go (well see), wonder if she will believe me if it's pushbikes I get rid of

Now smile?
The son in law came over to have a look, threw him the keys saying have a ride round the block, an hour later he arrives back big grin on his face.

Comes in the house and says "Guess we can cancel the reservation in the retirement home, your bound to kill yourself first"

Cant disagree, now to put the SV back to standard and get the FZR ready to sell, as I have decided to keep the Monster due to its low milage and low insurance.

Being so close to the factory would be rude to ignore Triumph. Nice ride.

Hi all, have managed to do a few "dry" miles this week, since purchasing last weekend.
So far very impressed , only issue I have is suspension needs setting up for my weight and will do this via springs and oil as I do not want to mess with it as I guess this may be my last purchase.
The seat height is the best fit for my skrinking legs almost flat footed (at last), the weight is down also as against the SV another bonus.

I guess I wont get many more ride in's before the onset of winter, sadly I feel the cold too much these days.
Must go outside and get the SV stripped and ready for sale, fortunately having the use of other bikes it has only done 2k so should sell easily? I hope.

Haven't lost me just yet i'm afraid, although i still get a bitter taste when i think bikes! Hoping to relight the fire (again) after christmas, ready for the tropical british summer. & i'll pop round sometime soon although i'm working a night shift at the minite so i'll have to find a day you're free too & i'll pop round to inspect the new bikes ( and quality of the tea )

Can't remember if you had mentioned before but were you looking for a new house near my grandads or just visiting friends?
