One more try before I either eBay it or just start to wear it myself. Anyone?

The mid controls on my Harley are a revelation. In fact, it's the first bike I've owned that I could literally ride all day without fear of discomfort.

Just the T1 Deck now, at £115 delivered. Bargain!

Lovely ride into Essex for a spot of breakfast this morning, and found myself parked up next to a Road King and an R9T!

Another bump!

Reduced to £1495, if that's of interest to anyone 

And sold!

Does anyone worry about fake notes when it's a cash sale? I'm helping my son to sell his 125 at the moment and I feel like a bank transfer is much, much safer.

Because it's not registered on any database as having been in an accident. So when it's fixed and sold on, the next owner won't know.

Ah, got you. I thought you meant buying as-is, hence the confusion!

Feel sorry for a future owner who will buy that unknowingly.

How would anyone buy it unknowingly?

Just needs a bit of fettling.

Looks superb.  Is it under powered? 

 

You're a serial flipper mate so I give you a few months tops regardless

It's had a stage 2 so about 172Nm of torque (in other words, no).

4 years, 4 bikes (excluding the ill-fated month with a Street Twin - that one doesn't count)... this will be no 5, and I reckon I'll have it for a lot longer than a year.

I know people who are a lot worse than me, btw 

A quick bump for this...

 bump for these lovely and very cheap jackets.

Looking good Sir!

If the weather is kind and you have the time let me know if you would like to meet up one evening in the week for a chat and exchange of B.S Lol.

Cheers

Could be difficult mid-week as I tend to be working till late. If you fancy hooking up one weekend that could be more doable, though.

If you can afford it, do DAS. Bigger bikes are easier to ride on the road than 125s. And you will enjoy it more. 

 

Agreed. Also, try a few bikes before you settle on one; for example, something like a Street Triple in either 675 or 765 guise may be right up your street. Fast when you want it to be, but also a great all-rounder.

Another 60 miles on this beauty of a bike today (so the best part of 170 miles since picking it up). I feel like I'm beginning to understand what it's about, the things it excels at and the times you have to treat it with a bit of respect.

No need to be so pernickety!

OOH! 

You don`t seem to have shiny rings around the ends of your pipes for you to polish.

I bet you are disappointed lol.

Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your new friend as much as I am enjoying mine and it seems like @fastbob is quite pleased too!

So everyone a winner.

Cheers

Ian

Thank you very much! I think it's going to be a marriage made in heaven!

I'll just say this - it's a beast.

That`s a point @learningtofly will have to polish the little shiny ring at the end of his new black exhaust pipes !

Wonder who he is collecting it from?

Lind HD in Watford - the unit next door to Lind Triumph, from whom I bought the Tiger. The Sales Manager for both is ex-Palmers Triumph in Hemel Hempstead, from whom I bought two Triumphs previously (in fact, most of the team there transferred to Lind (presumably under TUPE) when the Palmers dealership closed its doors).

My shares in Autosol just went up. 

Actually, mine has an S&S exhaust system in black, so don't go retiring just yet 

Two more sleeps!

How come you don't do that !

I don’t need either of them, so I’m just trying to offer a decent deal for someone. It’s not always about making as much money as possible.
