Ah, yes... a Trichump! I believe those were the words I used just now, before I was alerted to this thread. ;)



WELCOME STIG!

I was moderated by my own kind... ahh well. I does belong here.

Anywho, thanks PinkTaco lady!

Face it... it's better to be told what to do by a woman... you may as well get used to it now, before it's too late!




Pssst... the taco is gone... PI has taken over all!

I miss the taco...


But I love my TriHump!... except for one complaint. Since the exhaust comes up under the seat. It warms your right ass cheek up to about 700 degrees... and on a 90 degree day, it's not helpful.

I'm pretty sure once it breaks in, it'll cool down. Right now everything is tight and at maximum friction.

Raspy and Grunty for a lil 3-cylinder guy! runaround

Good looking bike. Is it your first one?

Nope, 3rd Bike.

First bike was a 2000 Buell Blast (beginner)
Second Bike was a 1998 Yamaha SecaII 600 (crash bike)

If I never said it before... my condolences on ^this one. ;)


P.S. - I guess I should say CONGRATS!

3 cylinder! Hell yeah :D

Sexy bike dude, and yes I find it proper :p

(Sorry bout that btw, was away and didn't realise AIM was on)

ah the new bike feeling........ nothing quite like it. congrats on the bike mate. they are one awesome machine.

Nice looking bike! I know nothing about the Triumphs but it looks sexy!

Congtatz on your new toy M8y!!! I hope you enjoy it thoroughy :D :iceslolan:grinyes::icon16::popcorn:

Nice bike Matty, I had no idea you were a bike guy. Very clean. :thumbsup:

Rode it for the first time today other than just home from the dealership.

All I can say is... weeeeeeeee!

Fun bike, I need to get used to it. More/Better pics to come.

All I can say is... weeeeeeeee!




did you wet yourself?

incredibly sweet

did you wet yourself?


Maybe just a tad... it's fun, I can't help it.

Dont kill yourself...

So any plans to take it to any kind of track? Should be a mid to upper 10 second bike no?

Track, yes. 1/4 mile.. no

Road course tracks in the future when i can afford full leathers.

Although I'm sure it's plenty fast 1/4 mile wise though, not sure how fast it'd be. Fast enough all I know.

Sharp!

Triumph has always done a good job of making their bikes different, without being ugly. I like it, sharp!

Sweet ride man, should be sick!

Out of sheer curiousity I looked it up. It looks like one group tested it with 0-60 of 3.32 seconds and a near 11 second flat ET. And that comes to $5 please! :runaround:

makes me wonder what that bad boy could do with a few mods:evillol:

soon we'll be hearing about a bunch of veyron kills

I know they'll do a 165mph flat out... too fast for me on a bike thank you.

Mine does 145mph........ :-(

If we ever get in a top speed battle, I will have no choice but to carry some weaponry. Some Road Rash 3D stuff. Some chain, a crowbar, grenades.....victory is absolute!!!!

If you don't know what that is...http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/5104VAXEFPL._AA280_.jpg

ha and ill ride the batbike with side winder missiles

victory is absolute

I wanna Daytona. Looks like I have no choice now but to speed up my plans of an R6 purchase.

Road Rash, man... that brings back memories. One of the greatest games ever.

Road Rash 3 for Sega Genesis was probably the best of the series.


The Daytona is a nice bike, although, you'll end up paying more for parts and service because it's British than you would with a Jap bike. I don't care though, it's different... all I care about. You see R6's and GSX-Rs all day, I still haven't seen a 675.

I hear a lot of "I didn't know Triumph still made motorcycles....." and they can't phathom that Triumph makes a sport bike. Funny stuff.

i wanted a daytona until i realised the mirrors were fixed and i had a great view of my knees :banghead:

what's wrong with that Aussie, word on the street is you have the best looking knees in all Australia. The kangaroos swoon as you pass, :lol:

The mirrors on the Daytona aren't fixed... they're quite adjustible actually. It wouldn't make sense if they were fixed. Although, since the bike is 27.5 inches wide at the handle bars, and the mirrors are inset a small bit from that they don't get the best of a view. Infact, I get mostly my elbows in the mirrors and have to pull them in slightly to check whats behind me. Other than that, they're actually nice mirrors and have very little to no vibration at highway speeds.

Maybe the bat bike isn't such a good idea...:icon16:

That's rediculous! Are you sure?

I've always thought the Triumph bikes were sexy. They make the only naked bike I like. First purchase is a new car, next is a?bike. Do bikes have factory warrenties?

Yeah, my TriHump has a 2 Year/Unlimited mileage warranty.

Their new bike, the Street Triple 675 is going to be off the chain! Basically a naked version of the Daytona. They de-tune it slightly for more down low power for around town, but it'll still be stupid fast.

maybe its a yank/aussie model name thing. i was looking at a 98 model daytona new. this was when i bought my gsxr instead.

i went to adjust the mirrors at the dealer and was politely told they weren't adjustable and would have to pay for breakages. then later a guy at work rocked up on one. he was shorter and suited him fine.

hey rich, have you seen my knees. there on www.ratemyknees.com complete with operation scars and missing kneecap bits. they are truly a sight to behold. add the fact that i'm white, pasty white in fact due to the aussie sun causing cancer within 15 minutes exposure.
