HI All, bad form on my part, saying "Hi" after lurking around and making a couple of posts over the last week! Anyway, finally uploaded some pics, so thought I would do the right thing and introduce myself and my Daytona. Its been a long time since I last rode a "proper" bike (when I was 18, I'm now 42!). And this year i decided enough was enough, and set about the financial nightmare that is DAS a couple of months back. I wish I could have afforded the time/money to take my bike test when I was younger, but on the plus side i got some great safety/awareness training! So, I passed my Mod 2 last Monday morning, bought my Daytona (from pure triumph wellingborough) Monday evening, took deliver Wednesday afternoon, and haven't stopped riding & tinkering since. I guess I'm amongst good company when I say i ab-fu-so-ucking lutely love the triumph, and I am still discovering what it is capable of as I get more used to it. enough waffle, here's the pics; First three were taken outside the dealers, who waited until 7pm for me to arrive, before test riding a couple of machines. and these are after my first round of tinkering, so far added; *stomp grips to tank, a necessity after the wrist cramp from my first 3 hour ride on delivery day! *Removed pillion pegs, and blanked off holes (thanks for the tip Craig) *Triumph short levers *Evotech tail tidy *TRW rearsets, thanks to advice from Sean last night i fitted 'em this morning bright and early (bought them from Calsport, cant rate their customer service highly enough!) Next round will add an evotech radiator guard, smoked-integrated rear light cluster and carbon exhaust tip from Carbon4U. Thinking of doing the "pro-bolt" thing and trying to lose all the silver visible bolts....not that this has become an instant obsession or anything :roll:
Welcome along dude and an extra well done for getting the fastest colour FYI...one of our Triumph specialist pro traders offers discounts on the Evo tech and can also supply the probolt stuff if you go down that road.
Welcome in matey, sounds like you are enjoying the forum and the bike! If you think you've got it bad now, wait till you've been on track with it!
welcome 2 the site man, glad the 'halfords trim buttons mod worked' did u bond them in with clear mastik? p.s Black is definately the fastest colour for sure!! tempted to get the stomps grips myself! keep thinking though £40 for abit of rubber? lol!
