    Hey there Guys and Girls,

    Last year i put a very sorry Triumph Sprint back on the road after a long rebuild. So i'm new to my triumph but a returner to biking and loving it.

    Myself and a friend are planning a little road trip over 4 days and was looking for some advise from fellow sprint owners.

    1. Can anyone recommend a specific tail bag that suits the bike perfect? I've been looking at a Kriga US30 for my trip, is anyone else using this? Or can you recommend anything that fits perfect?

    2. What simple locks do anyone have for there sprint? Just looking for a simple lock for the disc etc...

    3. Can anyone recommend a phone holder they have fitted and like? been looking at a Quad-lock but cant decide what will fit perfect?

    I've added a few pics of the before and after of the bike, its looking well now.....i know the colour aint original but suits the bike i think

    Thanks Colin

    That is a very tasteful restoration and colour choice. Your soft luggage choice seems eminently sensible and I think the little Oxford Patriot disc lock is as good as any to deter all but a determined thief. Get a cheapie Lidl cover and park near something more expensive! My phone holder is an inside pocket and phone on vibrate. Keep life analogue!
