addicted Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Seems it ran in the family, my nan's younger brother continued to ride his Norton combination daily into the West End of London where he worked as a cabinet maker for Maples until he was in his 90s.

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi all, just for us Forum Hairy Bikers, here she is.I`m still running her in, have`nt even done 500 miles on her yet, but when i have, it`s first service time, and the upright bars off the "Street Twin", as they fit straight on. Although the "ace" style bars on the cup are nowhere near as extreme as the Daytona, when you`ve ridden around the local lanes for half an hour, they too can become a bit uncomfortable, so they`re being changed. Here she is 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Aching arms.....wrists...back..... I used to suffer from that despite riding bikes for over 50yrs! My last three bikes were a 900 Trophy, followed by a 1200 Trophy and then I had to admit defeat and bought one of these. I went to Germany via Harwich/Hook of Holland to my cousins in Bochum and only stopped twice due to the temperature being in the eighty's for a quick drink and fuel. Left home at 0400 and arrived at 1830. (Fast ferry) Got off the bike and had no aches or pains whatsoever. A real mile muncher and so easy to ride. Only sold it in 2015 after 14 years fault free riding. (I'm now almost 70!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
