    Hi all, I've joined this forum to pick up ideas/tips/tricks for my newly brought America LT.
    It's the first Triumph I've owned and now takes pride of place in the garage alongside my FZS 600 and CRF250L DSCN3425.JPG

    Tomo I bet this bike takes more of your time looking after than the other 2, when you have the time it would be nice to have pictures of the other bikes you own.

    Here you go - the other toys outside next doors garage.
    The CRF has still got its factory (too quiet) pipe on - that's been swapped out for a VERY noisy FMF system. The Fazer breathes through a Beowolf end can matched to stainless steel headers from Motad.

    The only blue they do it in! It's a sort of royal blue. The base America (i.e. not the LT) is also available in black and red, but they only do LT's in this blue.

    Thanks for pictures of other bikes they also look well looked after sorry for the interest in the colour of you bike also as you might of guessed already has caused a bit of banter that this forum is not short of, just pleased for you that they are not blue as well.

    Blue's good particularly the shade of royal blue the trumpet is painted, red's good, it's just claret and blue that is a complete no-no. Being from Birmingham you can probably guess where my allegiances lie away from bikes - suffice to say we've been partying heartily for weeks.
    Just need some decent weather to get some miles in now - today has been freezing cold and blowing a blizzard, fortunately I was on the CRF - out getting more ACF50 to bathe the trumpet's 'bits' in.
