Triumph fan in Taunton

Post by MrAliT »

Hi All

I've lurked on here a few times but haven't posted so far....I've lost weeks on bike forums in the past so went cold turkey for a long time :-)

I live in Taunton and currently have a couple of Triumphs. A 2005 1050 Speed Triple and a 675 Daytona which is a track bike. With a young family I don't get out as much as I'd like but tend to have a couple of long weekends a year in Wales and the odd ride out if the weather is good an if I can get away from the DIY/kids activities!

I tend to take the Daytona abroad for track time but with time limited I'm calling it a day with that for the moment so will be posting it for sale. If you get bitten by the track day bug at Llandow its a great bike to get cracking on!

Im going to try and get out for a few rid-outs via the group this year so hopefully see some of you out and about.

Alistair

Hi ya and welcome to swb.


Looks like a beast. Before you sell the 675 why not quick your name down on the reserve list for llandow?

Thanks for the welcome. I was tempted by the Llandow event....7th June wasnt it? I might stick my name as a reserve and come along if I've not sold it by then.

I can't make this weekend but I'll try and get out soon. Need to do more riding than last year which consisted of 2 days in wales and 400 yards to get an MOT and back :oops:

I was struggling with posting pictures (hence 2 of the Speedy)! Heres the Daytona in all its glory!

Hi Alistair

Welcome to SWB. Couple of great bikes you have got there. Would be great to see you on a ride but by the looks of that track day photo it looks like your made for track riding. What a photo that is.....

If you do look to sell you track bike might want to consider hiring. I use Small Boys Track bikes and they are fantastic and cheaper then having your own bike if you only do a few each year.

Hope to see you on the road or the track some time soon

Cheers. I've got a friend who uses Matt and swears by it! Very tempting for me too :lol:
