At present I've got 2 HJC lids, a Nolan and a Roof in the house. Plus my holiday Nolan in France.

So the chances of me sneaking another lid into the house are pretty pretty slim.

It took me a while to get my head out of Versys mode. The lack of height was something I missed when I was in the traffic. That said, the STR is very nimble so filtering is a doddle.

It's wet leaves on the road season so I was a little bit more cautious than usual. If the roads are dry when I leave work I may have a play on the way back to my manor.

Cheers. The white paint is nice. It shines really well.

I noticed that the lacquer on the rear wheel has blistered. I'll be having a word with Triumph when I can next get the bike to them.

The new gloss black is nice, I had the matt black one which meant that whenever I parked anywhere remotely sunny the tank got insanely hot causing the bike to wee petrol out of the overflow pipe due to the amount of vapours rising and then condensing down, Triumph replaced the tank once as they said it wasn't right and then when it carried on doing it said, nah its normal......

Wish id bought the white one.....

Have you seen the car vs bike drift battle videos? I think you should turbo your bike. Watch the video and it will make sense :)

Ordered a carbon rear sea cowl. It's a second so I got it half price. If I don't like the look of it II'll sell it on.

Apparently there are some small bubbles in the lacquer.

I also like the front mud guard and the tank sliders, they look really good.

I've asked if there's any more discount for me?


I'm not hopeful

Evotech rad guard ordered. Brand new, half price.

I'll fit that and prep the bike for winter. I can't see me riding it again this year.
