Tony Mon doing cosmetic mods?? 2021 is turning out to be just as crackers as 2020! Looks great though mate.

Al good effort, but all I can see is great big pair of tatties!

Today I finally finished the renovation on my 1968 Triumph 650cc Trophy.
Really pleased how it turned out and it sounds really sweet Image
Last photo is how it was when I purchased it.

Sold the BMW s1000r Duville yesterday and welcomed in my return to V twin excitement!

I've wanted to own one of these since they came out. So after a brief spell on the inline 4 BMW, I can't wait to get back on a big twin.

The Beemer was great and no doubt quicker on the road, but it didn't suit my riding style or excite me at all. So now it's back to analogue (not even ABS Image) with the RC8R...

I wonder if Honda persevered with the SP2/Firestorm the motor would share many similarities?
