I think Paul is mugging you off mate, yeah I rode it home from the dealer that pic of the speedo is taken outside the dealer just before getting my gear on to ride home, patio pics are taken at home. They're effectively posted in reverse chronological order, sorry I see how it could be confusing.

More pics to come of the stuff I've added to it already, also paid for the street pack (Belly Pan, Pillion Seat Cowle, Fly Screen, Tank Pad and Decals) that's not fitted yet but goes on during the 600miles service. I'd hoped that I'd get to go play on it this weekend but I had zero free time.
Move house next Friday so not a prayer I'm going to get to play on it other than on the commute for some weeks now.

yeah all new bikes have it mate did triumph not tell you about it on yours? it's a bit like in the olden days where you could select the region on your DVD drive a maximum of 5 times and then it would lock to whatever region you'd selected on the 5th time. Same technology as that but you only get one opportunity to use it.

So you got stuck in traffic and had to take a more "interesting" route home?

The engine running in thread makes more sense now. I hope you will be adopting the trash the tits off it technique.
