955i Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is my current bike being raced by Clive Wood for the Jack Lilley Triumph race team in the 90's It was built by Clive using the best parts from the Triumph parts bin and containing some Tiger, Daytona and Trident parts along with some one off items like exhaust, cylinder head and suspension. Has been featured in magazines and has a small section in the book 'Hinckley Triumphs, the First Generation and apparently still holds records in its class!!

Paddy Galore! Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 my current ride is a vfr, a big red one! i thought it'd be comfy but i'm not keen on crouching forward all the time, i think i'm getting arthritis in my wrists so it's either full pelt or bust. i miss my Z thou, i built that from the ground up, i don't have any pictures other than what i took on 35mm, if we have a meet i'll bring a few along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 No pic to show regrettably because the sale of my house has fallen through otherwise I'd have a nice 2011 model Speed Triple by now and no doubt I'd have been tickled pink with it. Took ages to make my mind up. Trouble is while my buyer has been playing silly ******* the KTM 1290 has come out, the BMW S1000R super naked is on the way, and now a 145bhp / 94ftlb Ducati Monster. If the house doesn't go till the spring some of these will be hitting the second hand market. Now what am I going to do? I'll have to start again.

goodo123 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Doing my lessons atm, so hopefully be sorted for next summer (if funds allow). As long as we don't drive like nutters... I'm sure I can get a few to come. Where we thinking? I'm in Lincolnshire and have been told it's good for bikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general opinion by the onlookers was it was considerably more than 70mph at the time. Edited November 8, 2013 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nah, that's just a straight forward jump, nothing more than pin it and lean forward. Getting better though, at least this one has an engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixxerboy Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Had a few myself and crashed a couple too. My last one was a GSXR1000 K3 that ended up writing off a Mk1 Golf and pretty much myself too after attempting an heroic knee sliding moment on a cold front tyre... And the scene of said disagreement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
