Thanks Jonathan, see you in the Ardennes (where the roads are better than in
Flanders)

it is 998x. It does briefly show the programme ID on teh display but I
missed it.

received; it just comes in a bunch of mail from Triumph and often the boss
or front desk dontknow it has arrived. This is always a challenge as they
only speak the local Hessiche (Odenwald) dialect and my german aint great.

suspension. The magazine 'Sportsbike' did a suspension adjustment article on
the Sprint and found it was set way to hard for a single 75kg rider;  I
adjusted mine as they recommended (1 turn out on the preload) and it made a
big difference.
