Richard’s bike. A few lines about my Trident 750. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lockdown project \u2013 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\u2019t as it has a silver engine. Once home I started investigating \u2013 thanks due to Richard Wheadon and to the Triumph aftersales department \u2013 it has an interesting history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that it was one of the first of Triumph\u2019s 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 \u201994 registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has taken four months to sort out all its problems \u2013 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ran for the first time this morning, so I had a quick whizz round the block to celebrate \u2013 it is a delight to ride, handles really nicely, plenty of power \u2013 I am impressed with my first Triumph!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
