    Hi Folks, Quick hello to all.
    Bought this fantastic speedie back in Jan 16, previously owned quite a few triumphs, including Tiger 955, Daytona 955 and sprint st 1050., all great bikes.

    This only had 8000 on the clock on a 58 plate, too good too miss, serviced it, full suspension overhaul done, rear linkage bearings were rusty, replaced and re lubed, front forks have been up to MCT, resprung/ revalved, big, big improvement.

    Hope to join in on the "bant" and perhaps go to a few meets!

    Welcome in Straycat, bike looks boss!
    Its good that you know exactly what to look for to bring the Speedie up to speed, suspension mostly.
    8k miles on a 58'plate is fantastic, picked my 10' plate up with 10k miles 16months ago, now she is on 30k miles!

    Nice area.they do the Dickens week if I recall their. My grandparents were from Gravesend. And I'm from Tilbury although I'm in Ireland now for 20 years. I was at Chatham a few months ago at the docks.always loved Kent. IF I ever return to the UK it will be to Kent.

    Hi straycat, like the bike and the colour, but then I would say that wouldn't I? I'm biased.
    Enjoy and just try to keep that front wheel on the ground!

    Welcome.

    Excellent colour that. I bet it's nearly as quick as my yellow one! The citrus colours are the fastest. FACT. :D
