    Absolutely love this bike, its so authentically old skool in the way it looks ,feels and handles.Its had a fair few mods , front forks powdercoated,triple clamp powdercoated. LSL clip ons, headlight brackets, Mecanorem stainless silencers, progressive fork springs,Monza filler cap, rear tail tidy,indicators, and loads more .Just finished the exhaust header wrap the other day .

    That's fantastic eyore, those thunderbird sports are kinda special, and they can be made so strikingly individual.

    No question, took me 4 years to find the right one. Its not like my other bikes, I had a Ducati 998S which was similar in terms of being a collectable item of beauty that lived in the house and was owned for different reasons to ordinary every day bikes.
    We shall put the Speedy down to experience:rolleyes: Just didn't like the handling and wasn't prepared to waste money sorting it, after all I have an Aprilia Tuono in the garage that does everything the Triumph woulden't do,and given the choice between the two it was an easy decision.

    Beautiful bike. I had the misfortune of putting out a Thunderbird sidecar combo back last year after the buyer had only picked it up hours before....gutted wasnt the word as it was completely burnt out by the time we rocked up
