    She will just be used for the A road fun and the odd track day once I get a bit more confidence back. She is the first triple I have owned. Had the usual collection before her. Vfr VTR , blades and zxrs etc etc but hand on heart non have put the grin on my face like this one does and she's definately a keeper Here's a slightly better pic too can see the tail tidy effect with the lowboy.

    Welcome Colin. I take it the username has a reference to the Texas tornado???

    Great stuff if true, one of my fave all time racers.

    Enjoy the forum. Lovely bike btw.

    Hi Bob
    Unfortunately the name is just myself age and bike in a roundabout way although I agree colin Edwards was a superb racer and never say die rider. Thanks for the comments. She is nearly finished now. I'm just looking for a good set of short levers and possibly a rear seat Cowell if any one has any suggestions on those two I'd appreciate the input especially with the levers due to the clutch micro switch. Which incidentally if bypassed stops the fuel guage readout?

    Some nice roads round them parts if you can squeeze past the caravans. I will give triumph a ring today and get one ordered. There site is so slow to put up official accessories unless it's I that's slow and cant find it
