    Ha ha!!! This place is going to be fun I can see..I’m afraid I’m a hybrid..Hog and Triumph..is that a rarity?..the plate is a bit of nonsense..£250..worth it I think..the fanny pack?..well..hailing from Newquay I think I might just get away with it..does have to be worn strictly side saddle to ride though!!!

    Welcome from sunny California. I have no problem with the shirt as long as you own a Triumph!

    Hi SOH and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be round soon with your 'meds'.

    Re the cutting out problem, the first thing I would be doing is to charge the bike's battery for at least 4 hours, to make sure it's fully up to the job.

    I'm assuming it only does this when fully warmed up and in slow traffic where it can get hot?

    Hi Hippie, and welcome in :cool::cool: I wouldn't worry about the mix of rides, I've gone the other way with an Aprilia RSV Mille and a Triumph Nightstorm. It's just about getting out there and riding, whatever it is :p:p

    Welcome to the forum mate, 350 Miles is some debut ride, especially this time of year! Still you can use that tee shirt to clean the Daytona!

    Welcome sir.
    There's plenty of room in this group for you no matter the shirt. Nice looking bike and that should have been a good shake-down ride for it.
