Re: [St] Triumphs are Great

["marc Ve" <daytona955.marc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I collected my Daytona after a month of being Triumph-less while it stood on
the floor at the Cape Town agents.

Rode it to work yesterday, and I'll ride it over the weekend before deciding
what to do: keep it or put it back on the floor.

It was a rave yesterday - that motor is a jewel - pulls like stomp and revs
sweetly. The high rise carbon pipe makes the thing talk to me - best
sounding motor in the business!

I'm really in two minds: on the plus side I love the handling and strong
power band of the Daytona 955, on the minus side its ucomfortable for the
pillion and I cant behave myself on it. As soon as I get on it the hooligan
comes out.

Unintentional second gear wheelies on the throttle are just too easy to
behave myself.


what to do?..........
