January 14, 2014 at 7:16 pm #67341Swindon AndyParticipantInteresting, as I am looking into getting a K. Thanks for posting it.
January 15, 2014 at 11:30 pm #67342RadarModeratorAny joy with the hunt yet?
January 16, 2014 at 5:44 pm #67343Swindon AndyParticipantViewing one on Saturday! I’ll post photos if I get it.

Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

Now I will sell the trusty Trophy

Nice one! Brand new?
January 18, 2014 at 5:17 pm #67347Swindon AndyParticipantNo, a 59 reg with all the toys. I would post a pic but don’t know how – maybe I don’t have the privilege
January 18, 2014 at 9:29 pm #67348RadarModeratorSounds like it will be a beast of a bike

Remember to advertise your Triumph in the free adds section…you never know
January 18, 2014 at 10:53 pm #67349Swindon AndyParticipantI think this is the best colour, hope it doesn’t offend those more into black/dark bikes
January 18, 2014 at 11:05 pm #67350katanaParticipantCool. I like Flymo colours.
January 19, 2014 at 7:15 pm #67351RadarModeratorI could see the picture, I can’t now for some reason. Odd.
Looked great! Is it affected by the recall notice?
January 19, 2014 at 9:23 pm #67352Swindon AndyParticipantIt’s odd, I can’t see the photo now either. Not even a failed link.
I have the photo hosted on Canon Image Gateway and open to all viewers. Maybe the Canon site isn’t good for these web links.
The seller said all the updates have been done except this last one, which is apparently liable to a tank leak if a hose is removed and forced back on incorrectly. I’ll wait until a dealer service I think, as the BM dealers are all a long way from Swindon. Perhaps I’ll find a good independant.
Been out on it for a few hours today, it’s real nice to ride. Linked brakes and rapid shift make it almost too easy. Then had to wash it of course.
January 20, 2014 at 8:28 pm #67353RadarModeratorI can’t see what is wrong with the link.
In the meantime, here is a picture of a white one:
anybody got an orange highlighting pen?
