Bike ordered - at last
 

Whipeeeee..... finally, after bu99ering about for far too long, frittering each time I'd saved and of test riding all sorts of rubbish, its ordered.:D

Am I allowed to say Triumph?

2012 will be a good year...

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

what you ordered

Bonnie?

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

No.

I've gone for something more in keeping with my youth and natural athleticism...

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

In that case it must be a thunderbird..... :) (I don't know how atheltic or young you are!!)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Definitely the wrong side of 50, and 100kgs...:( and no its not a cruiser but I was tempted

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Scrambler!

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Sprint?

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Looking at your sig, and even though I know the answer, I have to ask...


What are you doing on an sv forum? ;)


Tiger1050?

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Ahh so you went for some of the rubbish you tested :)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Missionary work?

When I came back to bikes the intention was an SV but I got the VFR instead. Lovely bike, cracking (V-TEC) engine which I really miss but being a shortA it didn't work for me.

For light rubbish Dave, more in keeping with my gentle nature.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Just glad that after your recent worries you're getting on with life again.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

i'll say street triple.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Can't be the Tiger then :/

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Careless was soooo close but Bib got it.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

nice one Bri. thats the only bike that would tempt me away from an SV, the only reason i wont is that i can't make it low enough or i would have one tomorrow. cracking bikes. remember to get some nice cans or they sound like sewing machines having sex :-)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Arrow Low Boy is apparently pretty sweet :)

When is the delivery?

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Ach Dagnamit... I spoilt it with one little letter.

You'll love it, and Lance is right they sound brilliant with cans. The Arrows are V-loud and rather expensive, but Triumphs own cans are nice too they look exactly the same as the originals and are about half the price of the Arrows.

Diz I've heard the low level kills the mid range.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

The lowering kit, which is getting done, will take it down to 770mm - I too suffer from heavy gravity. I like the Low Boy, which makes using soft panniers easier, but had heard it messes with performance low to mid range - sounds wicked tho.'

Bike will be ready middle of next week but I'm away with work. Had an op on my back Tuesday so no mad rush to get out + I want it checking over by someone I can trust before I go daft on it.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Can't comment on performance but sound is great :) plus it allows to use certain luggage as you say.

Have fun :D

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

770 is still not low enough :-) my inside leg is 26''.

if i remember my sv is down to 730ish and i still can't flat foot.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

You would have a job flat footing a monkey bike:D

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Bit off topic but a cheer you up
My dad had a 52" waist and 26" leg which made trousers look very strange.

WELCOME--mr triumph man---hope you enjoy your new bike after such an absence

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

This is an sv forum? It might once have been, but these days it's more of a Triumph forum.

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Lovely bike :) Good choice. I can almost flat foot a street triple with my 28" inside leg :D

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Nice!!!

Where you get it from?

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Ooh you'll love it!

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Another day nearer to world domination for triumph, welcome to the org trumpet club :)

Give us the details then Bri :p

Nice one. Lovely bikes.
I have the opposite problem with a 36" inside leg. God knows what Prestons inside leg is!

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Nice one BRI, only just come in from the garage after lowering mine today. I feel a tune coming on from Eddie Calvert ????

JOHN

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

About 140" ;)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

As you've not been well Bri, I'll forgive you joining the Trumpet club.

It'll put a smile on your face, so that's good

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Will wait for your thought's Bri, as i'm looking at one of these as well.Did you also try the speed triple, cos i quite like them to and cannot decide- will have to test them both i think

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Maybe his illness affected his judgment. I don't think we should talk about it actually. I just feel sad for him.:(;)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Nice one Bri hope you have fun you deserve it bud :)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Yep ;)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

this is a good choice for a man of your age bri
you'll ride it to mine and forget its yours and leave it there :)

Re: Bike ordered - at last
 

Wheyhey! Nice one Bri. Welcome to the Trumpet club.

Girth knows a bit about triumph doesn't he ... Someone told me he knows more about triumphs than he does about women ...

So he knows they go well and need filling up regularly ..

And as for Triumphs ...
