Just introducing myself

I've just bought this '95 T309 Speed Triple with 11,000 miles.

This is the first Hinckley Triumph I've owned, and - I'm loving it so far!





It has a D & D Racing chin fairing on it - anyone know anything about D & D?

Thanks!

Tim

Welcome.

A '95 Speedy with only 11,000 miles. It's nearly still a virgin. Nice ride, though the orange paint kinda makes me want to take an 8 lb sledgehammer to my monitor. :razz:

Thanks folks!

I'll admit I'd have preferred the same bike in black, but a friend was selling (in a hurry) so the price was right. I might start looking for a spare tank and plastic ...

It does have a unique sound - I'm loving that!

Great Find! 95 is my favorite year S3.

I personally like the orange/black......but I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan so I can't help it.

Great find! I don't mind the orange that much, but the white wheels are whats getting to me.

Are those helibars on it? I can't really tell, but something looks higher than mine.

D&D eh? There's the D&D exhaust... but I've never heard anything about D&D Racing fairings. Are those D&D silencers?

The single bar-end napoleon mirror is key- I'm riding with a single skyking and its great.

You must tell us more about that 4-wheeled beast in your garage!
