I've never named any of my bikes. I'm not one of those people who call it "she" either.

It's a lump of metal.

I rate your nicknames for your bikes (lol) what's the new beast getting called? Ta. :D The baby's full name is actually "Millenium Dodo", from a song. But obvs, it's a joke on the famous Star Wars ship ("what a piece of junk!") ...

... dry roads though, flooded sections, mud build up in the road where you want to be on the bike, but it was long overdue and fun. Quiet a few bikes out today as well.

They're supposed to be decent bikes.

... Cafe (nice little airfield cafe), he asked for me to do a few figure of 8's which he was very happy about and off we went to park up. Got off the bikes took lids off and first thing he said was "what did you think about the old bill then" I said they were bloody following us, he laughed ...

My catalogue of injuries (not just through motorcycling, either) and is extensive and scary. I'm like a crap android.

I don't need to see your link to know bikes are dangerous and I'm not going to ride the new one in a full face helmet. But thanks.

... too long so exchanged them for the XRS-12 which are a shorter cuff and my jacket goes over them a lot better. I've had heated grips on previous bikes and they don't come anywhere close to being as good as heated gloves, a stated earlier, grips will keep your palms warm but I still found the ...

That's a real shame if they do stop the 675 but I suppose Triumph are a luxury brand and have high sales in other types of bikes so they prob won't be loosing much if they stop their 675 range, bar maybe the younger market

Comes to something when a **** BMW is more popular on a bike forum than bikes are.

Have you thought about a flip lid so you can use it on the cruiser and on the other bikes?

I replaced the chain on the 748 two years ago. In all my years of riding bikes that's the first bike i ever had to replace the chain on.

Cheers guys.

I'll hopefully be OK Blade, only problem might be getting distracted by the fantastic scenery. We've git a mix of bikes, even a Harley so speed won't be an issue.

Not a fan of dealers. Never been in a car dealers I would trust. Bike dealers there are a few glimmers of light but some are rude and have poorly conditioned bikes for sale I would be embarrassed at selling somthing in that state.

I find some bike dealers have a similar disinterested attitude. You get a lot of "oh it's fine, it'll be fixed before or goes out." FFS the bikes fork seals are chewed to bits and it's pissing oil down the legs. Do you really not understand how that might put me off?

Hi folks, Just signed up for the new site. I was on the old site as Hoodlum but haven't been active for a number of years after falling out with bikes for a bit. Think I was last on here about 2008/9 maybe a bit later. Back on now though after getting myself a nice Sprint ST at tail end of last ...

I ve noticed all the press bikes and test fleet bikes are coming with the optional Akrapovic end cans.......... I wonder why

... but is there not an attractive aftermarket tail tidy available for the SX.? ....& to bring it back in line with the subject, I hate cleaning bikes. Actually, that's not strictly true.. I resent the time it takes, as I never seem to have enough.. Anyway, I'm saving up the cleaning of my 675, ...
