Could have helped myself to anything.......

Post by smithy5 »

...............and this is what I decided on...........
2013 Matt Graphite Triumph Thunderbird Storm 1700cc Sports Cruiser
Plenty of Torque, 107hp ATM, but with mods to come (black) Hogslayer pipes, cat removal, PC5 and K&N Filter it will have more go than I will ever need.
Tell me what you think, i'm pretty thick skinned (i'll need to be)
but as they say, don't knock it, till you've tried it.

As far as cruisers go she's not bad on the eye.. Cant comment on the ride it's self as i havent ridden it.. but dont mind the matt. Polished rims would give it that extra something 8)
It all comes down to how you ride it.....

I was considering polishing the rims, but I reckon i'll stay with the stealth look and get matt black pipes instead......

I got one of them as well, with every real bike you buy, they give you a free one....

She refused to sit on the stock pillion seat, it's like a small brick, so I tossed it.
The riders seat is not that flash either, so I have ordered a two piece touring seat...

Not planning on a chooky, till next winter I reckon, no time to ride it really.
I want to get the pipes, touring gear, saddle bags etc etc for this. Also I want to finish my boat and get it back in the water before summer is over.
