Thanks guys, really nice of you all - it's going to be a great day, waited on hand and foot (sorry, Tui moment:rolleyes:)

Haven't got the Triple yet Jim, but it's very close. Did an extended test on Tuesday and I think it has the capability of turning any rider into a hooligan!

Of more immediate importance, I sold the Blackbird yesterday. Got to sort out the handover but it's a done deal. It's quite an emotional wrench actually to part with something which has been my life for the last 8 years. However, I'm delighted that it's going to someone who is a real enthusiast for Blackbirds and will give it the love and attention it deserves - couldn't be more pleased actually; almost a bit of Karma in there.

give us a few hours half rate and a day in lieu, eh? God loves a trier John:2thumbsup

Happy birthday mate, hope it's going well.

New 'cicle eh? they do look the part those wee Triumphs, and the one I tried definitely felt like a hoon machine.

KB Name change coming?

Guess you don't need any presents really after your kids safe arrival from the tsunami...?:2thumbsup

Cheers Patrick! Don't think a name change will be needed.... The Triumph will be black and all my bikes are female (the 'bird was called Grace Jones. Politically incorrect I know but she is a black bird after all :rolleyes:). Will have to think of a name for this one.

You're spot on about the presents, although Jennie did say that I could take the Triple as being her present, haha!

Thanks again everyone, it certainly was a good day! Looks like I'll be delivering the beloved Blackbird to Auckland on Wednesday so have clearance from Executive Management to go ahead and get the Street Triple as soon as I can organise it. Two quite different machines, both brilliant at what they do best.

Sorry I missed it, Geoff, but I'm glad you had such a good day. Belated Happy Birthday from me and Karen.

Have you sold it, or is there some other reason for the Auckland trip?
(EDIT: Never mind - checked your posts and saw the "Now Sold" one. Hope you got a good price (personally, I think you were selling it too cheap - the buyer got a real bargain there!)
Got time to catch up for a coffee or whatever while you're here?
