    I have finished another round of changes to my Trumpet.

    It was a nice day yesterday so I took a few snaps.

    I know this isn't a Blade or even sporty, but I just love it.

    Thanks fellas.

    I have owned & ridden many sports bikes; they will always be my first love. Riding & modifying this is just different; its isn't very fast (even modified), perhaps 120 on a good day, but anything over 80 gets lively. Its doesn't corner or stop too well either; but its has a character that "better" machinery doesn't have; maybe its the growl from the 900cc twin, or the old school looks. Its stands out in crowd & makes me feel like I have to ride it, not just sit on it & go, like my Blade.

    :)

    I wish it was really me pal; that's some American chap.

    But that is the sound & it spends lots of time in the red bit on the rev counter!
