Hi all, went down to Total Triumph Taunton yesterday and popped a deposit on a 2014 Speed in white. Arrow cans, evotech tail tidy and some black evotech levers too. First Triumph after starting my career Honda > Kawasaki > Suzuki, can't wait to pick it up!
Good luck on the new bike Sir and welcome to the madhouse, PS - we love pictures on here and when viewed we all say nice things about ya Ooohh thats nice. Though me feels you will receive some comment from someone saying paint it black.
Hi mate and welcome Nice bike You might want to paint it BLACK though because it’s a better colour and makes you more popular
Hello Gravs and welcome to the forum All this daft talk about black bikes,,,,we know that white bikes are the fastest and
You went to Taunton from Oxfordshire...you must have really fallen in love with that bike FYI there is a Triumph dealer off J7off the M40 (Thame) - "Hughenden M40" - Speak to Bruce in service - he is a good chap and very knowledgeable http://www.hughendenm40.co.uk/
Hi all, thanks for the warm welcome! White is definitely the best colour as it makes you look like a stormtrooper. Also I went down to Taunton as my dad knows a bloke there! I did have a look at Hughenden but they didn't have something in my budget that caught my eye!
I had to wait till l was 65 (last year) to get my 1st Triumph, & they do look good in white with the black frame showing don't they.........
Found another picture of it - levers and tail will be changed by the time I collect, I've ordered some R&G bungs and a Denali soundbomb mini for it as well as the fitting kit for my ABBA stand so I'll be already for next weekend to do some work! I think the screen might come off for a bit to see what I prefer too.
R&G bungs are good, I have the Triumph frame sliders fitted and to be honest I am quite disappointing. they look good, but they are hollow and designed to 'crumble' in an impact. Spindle protectors, LED indicators, bar end mirrors and a Scottoiler next ? The Denali Soundbomb Mini sounds like a worthy investment, I have the split system and it is vital. Its a gorgeous bike, you will; be very happy with it. I am just a couple of junctions down the M40 from you, so maybe the possibility of meeting up in the summer for a weekend ride?
Yeah I did look at the Triumph sliders but they didn't look great to be honest - R&G is always a good way to go. After I'm done with the backlog of stuff on order I'll be looking for some bar end mirrors I think, then LED indicators definitely! It's going to be a long week waiting for Saturday. Yes sounds good, I live out towards Burford way, some great roads out here - a friend of mine is about to pick up a Striple RS too so sure he would join us.
Welcome to the forum Gravs.. If you wanna put some faces and bikes to user names and use that new Speedie of yours amongst admirers, drunkards and reprobates, some of the inmates and staff are allowed out once a year. This year we're going to Wales in July. Check it out. https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/grand-meet-up-2018-wales.12452/
