Hello All!!! Looking for a 675

  1. Nope - Gran's been dead a long time.

    I always run my Triumph on Vpower I get the best out of her that way and I don't hang around on the motorways and I will also point out that was since getting her remapped at Triumph with the most recent map so might have done something to improve it because before I was around 145 marker before the light came on. Might be worth getting your map updated mate.

    lol

    I think i need to go for a test ride..and i am little concerned about the power delivery in a straight line to say 100mph..

    one other thing how bad is the oil usage?

    Never been on a test ride before, how much of a ride is usually offered? And do I need to leave a deposit?

    I assume I will be pushed for a sale after I return?
     
  9. With laguna Motorcycles you get an hour and no obligation to purchase afterwards just dump the keys back and walk away if you're really not interested :lol:

    You don't need to leave a deposit just bring both parts of your license and probably a proof of address with you and you'll probably have to sign an insurance waiver that says if you throw the bike down the road you agree to pay the first 2k of any damages not to scare you or anything :lol:

    lol..

    R&G Tail Tidy that was on the bike, uses a white light on the rear - they said its no good.
    Small number plate - my fault but still no good
    No tax on the bike - i had removed the tax disc as they tend to go missing - this was in my other bike jacket

    got fixed penalties for all 3.. total fine £150 on the day that i sold my bike.

    Oh I see, makes sense now, Doh!!

    Just typical, sods law says that stuff will happen.

    I PX'd a bike once, and on riding my old one to collect the new one, I laid it down! Yep, brow of my car park. Luckily I was strong enough to lay it down gently, and adrenalin picked it back up. Sweating like a rapist!! Few stone marks on crash bung, lucky!!
