    My first (proper) bike (finally)

    After riding the Vespa PX200 for four years - the day arrived yesterday.

    Triumph Thruxton - Arrow two into one, Ohlins piggy backs.

    It's a gorgeous morning, I just cruised round the bays (Wellington).

    I'm buzzing!

    Cheers guys,

    The arrow exhaust systems have this little circlip - and you can remove the db baffle (strictly for racing purposes only !!) haha.

    I think the neighbours are now well aware that scooter boy now has a motorbike haha.

    Enjoy this weather while it lasts !
