Triumph Trident 1994

Richard’s bike. A few lines about my Trident 750.

A lockdown project – dragged out of a garden where it had sat for a year being used as goalposts by two kids (if you hit it that was a goal!), no cover on it, snails in the airbox, usual stuff. It was advertised as a 1994 bike, but clearly wasn’t as it has a silver engine. Once home I started investigating – thanks due to Richard Wheadon and to the Triumph aftersales department – it has an interesting history.

It seems that it was one of the first of Triumph’s new exports, this one to Malaga in May 1992, where it was bought by an English guy and subsequently brought back to England in 2015. The DVLA in their wisdom gave it a ’94 registration.

It has taken four months to sort out all its problems – essentially it really just badly needed a decent service, plus fitting with the correct cans and repairing a damaged side panel, unseizing callipers etc etc

It ran for the first time this morning, so I had a quick whizz round the block to celebrate – it is a delight to ride, handles really nicely, plenty of power – I am impressed with my first Triumph!

Tiger 800 XRT 2019

Collin’s Tiger.

I bought this new in November 2019 after trading in my old Tiger 1050. During my first year of ownership I managed around 5,000 miles on various ride-outs.

During one ride-out a car tried to enter the same lane as me, resulting in a bent footpeg and bruised foot. Luckily, I managed to stay upright!

As a result of this mishap, I decided to fit a dashcam system in the shape of a Innovv K2 system with front and rear cameras running constantly.

Triumph Bonneville 2001

From Scott. This is my 2001 Bonnie, somewhere in the west of Mull a few years back, coming back from Orkney by the west coast with a bit of a diversion through the Hebrides. There’s not much I’ve changed to make it good for touring – flat bars, a flat gel seat from a Scrambler, Givi boxes, screen, and a bored and ported engine. Torque is flat as an ironing board from 2000 to 7000, so it’s great for just rumbling along in top gear all day

Of course when I get in to the south of England, I have to be more careful about securing the bike, so here is the TankDog™ Security System.
