So that's the end to the T'bird replacement, I'll write a mini review later, to be replaced with this...

No big triple, but the suspension is very good, and once over the buzzy nature of a 600 IL4, it's pretty good and over 10k Revs it's a missile, brakes are the same as the S3 (awesome) never mind they are hauling down a lot less weight, I know it's a cliche but the handling is so predictable.

Inforad, tank pad, and my "rictus" decals fitted, alarm to go on in the next day or two, still in the Triumph club, even if it's only a training one.......:D

Cheers Mark.

Looks OK:) and you look comfortable riding it - leg/knee position, I mean.

Why's there a sofa outside your house?

Yeah it's not as bad as I'd have though, getting some jackup plates made (to be fitted upside down), but that'll be a little while yet.

Oh and the sofa, well one has to be comfortable when working on the bike you know..............;) ( or it could be waiting for the concil to remove of course).

Cheers Mark.

I cant keep up with what bikes you do and dont have mark and didn't you have one of these before...or did i have a premonition that you'd have one some day, lol.

Good to see you on a bike again after recent events mate :)

Very nice Mark and to quote another cliche "a very underrated bike" :)

Glad to hear that your leg is ok on it too
