    What's it like to ride mate? Is it like riding an old bike or does it ride pretty much like a new 1?

    Lol northern run two I believe? Barney was the culprit, I'd guess taken 10 seconds apart.

    Edit: nope, different road Swiss has double white lines. Si's don't :)

    That should be a long answer but I'm in the bath on my phone.

    It responds to every input from the rider; in a good way but also in a bad way; you can't just move about like on the blade. You definitely have to ride it instead of just being along for the ride if you get me.

    It's not fast, but it is torquey.

    The oem suspenders make life interesting but I have just put progressive springs & heavier oil in which should help. It will benefit from better shocks which I will get around to.

    I have never ridden a genuine old bike so can't really say but I love it to bits.

    Best of all, wherever I park it, it gets lots of attention.

    Nice, i had mine out over the weekend and got 90 miles done, those TORS have made all the difference to the sound, the best kind of stress ball:D

    I fitted TORs over Christmas & they sound much better; more inkeeping with the look. I still need to get it to Triumph to have the new fuel map loaded but its a bit chilly for me to get out yet.

    Lovely bike have fancied one for a while for that Sunday cruise thing ! Triumph are in the process of doing something new either cruiser or cafe racer style, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
