After 3 consecutive 955i Tigers I've placed my order for a new white 1050 for a 1st March delivery.

I'm looking forward to discovering a whole new bike, but also a little sad to part with my last 955. They've been great bikes and have given me many trouble-free miles.

I've bought a new Garmin Zumo already, and I'm busy shopping for the "essential" accessories which in the past I simply transferred from bike to bike.

Some of my 955i accessories are for sale in the Classified section - click the link on the left. I'd prefer to deal with local UK riders if poss.

Are you a Robinsons customer then?
I did my part ex deal with them and so they've become my new Triumph dealership due to Orrell loosing theirs.

I,d have thought you would have gone to Youles in Blackburn,Thats who I use,I have never been able to seem to hit it off with Robinsons

That's exactly the reason I went to Rochdale. Can't seem to hit it off with Philip Youles but good vibe (and price) at Robinsons ?

I've tried to buy 3 bikes from Blackburn in the past. I'll not post figures here but if Robinsons were based on the south coast it still would have been worth the trip

I think a lot of it is who you get on with and feel comfortable with,Once the spring arrives perhaps we could have a mini meet in Slaidburn or somewhere,I actually work in the Rossendale valley,Restoring Triumph TR7 Sportscars,So if you are ever passing through give us a shout

I took my 955 for its last trip through Slaidburn on Sunday.
I often call in at the Riverside cafe on my out or way back from the Dales.
Don't hang about waiting for Spring - it may have already gone !

I,ve spent many a pleasant afternoon at the Riverside cafe,Bikes in bits at the moment just doing a big clean up and service,though next time I,m out I,ll give you a shout, cheer Simon
