TRIUMPHS!!!!!
ok two things:
The Daytona has an amazing engine squeezed into one of the worst riding positions I have EVER experienced. and The Speed Triple is an amazing bike, but works much MUCH better when you dont borrow the demo bike and drop it in front of your house BUT if I can wangle it, I shall probably be buying this XX-link dead-XX of course with new Front brake lever, rear brake lever, clutch cover, right indicator and gear box cover :P Edit: link removed, bike no longer on used bike list due to addition of cash |

nah, already paid for the damage, but if I buy it, that effectively becomes my deposit They actually gave me a quite impressive deal: £2300 for Daisy, trade price for the replacement parts and no labour costs. Aside from the brake levers, the other three are non-essential (a bit of rub down and some black hammerite will sort them the damage). I find out on monday what the trade costs come to and decide then |

but, gravity aside, effortless clutch, stable suspension, easy and seemingly infinite drive and if you get gear happy, lunatic speed is far FAR too easy and it suits NOT having a screen, makes you smile more |
