SouthernManc78 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks guys, my lid is hiding them but I do have the frame and engine protector bits from Triumph along with the quickshifter [emoji41]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tPIC Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Nice one! I'm sure that you're well pleased with it, and you should be - great bikes and the quick shifter is probably the best addition for these ever. I'll keep my eyes open for you around Hampshire.

SouthernManc78 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I went out for my first little ride today (only did about 30 miles) and I was loving it, I'm meant to be keeping it under 5k revs whilst running it in but couldn't help it a few times and had to hear the triple roar.My o my though the standard mirrors are awful, I found myself moving around a lot to be able to see what was behind me and it was taking my eyes off the road for those extra seconds that has convinced me already I need to replace them with something else.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was straight out shopping when I passed my test. Enjoy! Ha ha, I bought mine about 6 weeks before my test. Just had to have it waiting for me when I passed. I was popping about on a Vespa LX125 and doing the bike training under the guise of "I need more road training, I will be safer".God it hurt getting off that 650 onto the 125 to go home.. but it was great being rid of L's.Patience paid off, hello proper bike!
