    I just put down a deposit on my first Triumph, a 2006 955i. I was 95% committed to buying it, and the test ride went well so I'll take a punt on it. My second Benelli Tornado died recently so I was after another triple.

    16.8k miles, full service history, £3300. The engine pulls like a freight train as I expected.

    It joins my Zontes 125, Moto Guzzi Griso 1100 and Yamaha R6 trackbike in the garage.

    I look forward to seeing some of you folks around!

    Cheers!

    The Benelli is totally done for. Someone split the oil filter and it wound out at 135mph... Only good thing is, it cost me £2k so I'll get back what I paid by breaking it.

    I wasn't...

    Unless you're a policeman in which case, of course I was!
