Hi folks!

Some of you will already know me, others will have just gaped in amazement at my awesomeness as I pass.*


(*may only be half true)


I'm Dex, work at Brize Norton but often stay in Swindon. I ride a 2002 Triumph Speed Triple, which looks a lot like this...

and when I had my old bike, I'd often look a lot like this...

I've been riding 15 years (first bike was on the road on my 17th Birthday!) I fell in love with the Hinckley Triumphs 15 years ago when I was doing my license, finally treated myself last June and loving it!

I was linked to WR from an IAM group website, and the holding page for WR linked me to here, so here I am!

Hi and welcome to Wiltshire Bikers. You will find a few Triumph riders here including me some of the time.

Hello and welcome, I love the Triumphs, that is a particularly nice one. I ride a Bonny! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

You're only a Triumph rider some of the time? Because you have too many bikes to choose from, or because you keep breaking it? :D



BL - One of the new Bonnies? I have to admit I have a soft spot for the Thruxton, I have to look away when I'm in the dealer to stop myself from getting snared by a salesman!

Hiya and welcome

;D

It's one of the new Bonnie's, I tried a friends older Bonnie but it was too high and heavy but they've lowered the new one and its just fab!

Yellow and welcome [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Now that is a nice bike, love the blue

Hi n Welcome,nice ride

Oh, yeah, forgot...hello and welcome! I forget my manners when I see a triple...

Hello & welcome

Yep. I've had a Hinkley Bonnie (The higher one BonnieLass tried) and also a 1200 Trophy. Also riden the Scrambler and Rocket.
My friend had a Thruxton. A very pretty bike.

I offered just this morning, but no - too busy!



Kev - I think the scrambler would make the most wonderfully cool commuting bike, and I have a massive weakness for the Thruxton. I daren't even test ride one!

Well if it's run by a Triumph owner then it sounds like the sort of pub I'd like!

I did find the 865cc engine a bit rough compared to the 790cc Bonnie I had. Maybe because it was a loan bike and needed a bit of tlc.
Only thing I found with mine is I kept running out of gears to change up!

Hellooo, nice bike [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Welcome! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Blue is my second favorite Triple colour ;)

Hello, welcome to wb :)

How about you offer on my day off???

well look seeing forward to seeing you dex

You didn't start work until Two! You had all morning and lunch time to come take her for a spin. But oh no, you want the moon on a stick.

Women!




And thanks for the kind words from everyone else :) I'm a big fan of the Roulette Green STs too - great colour.

I'm glad there's a few people like it - obviously I'm biased, if I didn't think it was a nice bike I'd own something else lol.


(I even still like it having spent last two days stripping suspension linkages to replace the completely shot bearings. That was a pig of a job)
