It was either this or NoS and cams/xorst for my ZS and i wanted a new toy so the bike got the vote.

Still now I'm paying out well over £2k a year on insuranses now!!:eek:

You lucky......I had the chance to test drive one of the small ones 2 months ago...and nearly swapped it for my Honda CBF600S...didn't due to my wife she would have killed me ;)

I've always thought those Triumph bikes are lovely beasts to look at and why not drive some exclusiveness around.

Enjoy it m8...:D

Cheers. I will be taking it easy to start with, not had a bike for a couple of years and this one will need running in so I'm gonna have to treat her nice while I get used to being in the saddle again.:uj2:

Nice try Rob!:hit1: :lol3:

I've just done the first stage of running in, 100miles at 3.5k rpm. I'm now allowed to ride upto 5k rpm and can now get it upto 80mph which is a bit less painful than the 55mph before.

My ZS180 is still just as loved as it was the day I bought it all those moons ago in a time when MG were in business (just) and the reason I stopped riding today was coz it rained and that made me remember why I have a car! lol

I also found out that I talk and sing to myself a lot which I'd forgotten happens on bikes:blush: I'm just glad that the awesome sound of the Triple drowns me out!
