I see McIvor & Veitch now have the Triumph franchise for Otago.

I may try and get out for a ride tomorrow if the nice weather holds up.

About time the old girl had a run.

10000k service today. Also had my airbox snorkel removed, a K & N filter added, and fitted up the Thunderbike pipes. Re-jetted to suit. Allegedly a horsepower gain (it certainly SOUNDS more powerful).

It sounds bloody good now, it is quite loud though. hopefully no issues come WOF time in October. The best thing about the new pipes is that they tuck a heap closer to the cylinder head on the right hand side. There is MORE clearance there than there was. I am really happy about that because I have short legs. Havent tried it two up so will see what the verdict is from she who must be obeyed after the weekend.

About the only other farkling it needs is a set of hot grips and maybe a little flyscreen (of course I had a couple and sold them really cheap on tardme a while ago ... doh!)

Very happy with Street & Sport in Christchurch also.

might chuck up a pic if I go somewhere cool on it. some milk bar somewhere maybe ........ ?

Yes, pic's please.
I fitted the Oxford hot grips, but would also like barkbusters or similar hand guards to keep the cold air off my knuckles.
Trustme has set his bars/grips/guards up really well.
Mines still purring along after 35000 and besides the normal maintenance and checking, all is sweet.
One thing that some riders are doing, is fitting the number boards and using them as pannier guards. Not to sure how reliable/strong they are, but they should be ok.
