Hi all
After years of traffic jams in a metal cage and being a mature (really) Student I decided to resort to the transport of my youth. I thought that an old 93L Diversion 600 would do just fine and it has for the last 18 months, however last week was MOT time and I was informed that they had gone 'computerised' with a proper brake force rolling road etc etc etc. Result failure! Repair bill approaching £400 including a new tyre, rear brake assembly, fork seal + Labour. Result started looking around dealers used stock. I am 40 and 6 feet tall and shall we say fond of food and ale! So I did not want a sports bike and then there she was. A 23K 2 owner bright red Trident Sprint 900. Was Triumph ever on my wish list? Never. After 2 days of haggling and begging my partner with arguments of safety and such, I did the deal and pick the triumph up on Wednesday 6 July.
I had a test ride but it was drizzling and I was pretty carefull, but I could feel the bike was planted' and it went well.
Knowing I am preaching to the converted I would appreciate opinions on my new bike and tips to keep me on it and happily healthy.
Not a lot is said about the Trident, even less about the Sprint but someone somewhere must know?
Thanking you all in advance for any and all comments
