    Evening all. I'm Antony, I'm 32 from Coventry. I bought a '65 plate matte black Street Twin a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. I've been riding since 2009 and this is my 6th Triumph amongst other brands I've owned:

    2007 Daytona 675 Sold
    1999 Yamaha R1 Sold
    2011 Daytona 675 Sold
    1997 Honda CB500 Sold
    2014 Tiger 800XC Stolen and burnt :(
    1997 Honda VFR750 Sold
    2012 Street Triple R Sold
    2000 Sprint ST 955i
    2015 Street Twin

    I think I've 'gelled' with this bike more than the others. I'm not much of a racer or trackway hero, I prefer to pootle along mainly.

    I've got a couple of accessories to fit over the weekend so I'll post pictures when they're fitted and I've given it a wipe over :cool:

    Welcome in, another ST owner, You're right, although I loved the old 900 triples, the Street Twin is a great little bike and is good fun to ride.
    Look forward to the photos

    Hi Antony, welcome.
    Nice list of bikes.

    I am loving my Bonnie which is ideal for me as an all round bike, when you say 'gelled' with it, I know exactly what you mean, I hadnt ridden for 28 + years and I feel at one with the bike when I am out on it.
    Bloody marvelous, dont know why I left it so long, Yes I do, wife, kids, mortagage lol
