Are there any suggestions as to how Triumph could improve the motorcycle you purchased??

A Tank and a half of my favorite route this afternoon (ie. following the blue sky and deciding on my destination when I got there)
Found some great new (to me) roads but now I have no idea where there are lol
Thanks to Flipper, Biggus & PJDJ for the advice on the suspension and how to get it sweet for me. Feels like a new bike and my confidence is really on the rise again  _________________ Opinions are like assholes...... Ahhh Fcuk it - YOUR WRONG !!!

WMMST & yesterday - running in my new toy
The 5,000 rev (=58mph in 6th) limit is doing my head in, but only another 400 miles of that to go, and this bike already feels a million times better than the last, even at low speeds. I've finally lost my fear of relaxing my grip, of moving the bike whilst not sitting on it, and of right hand corners. oh and to top it off, fully comp on this is only £30 a year more than TPF&T on the bandit.
Has to be the best decision i've made in the last 2 years, even with the "special" and highly suspect modifications I've had to make to the garden shed to turn it into a "timber garage" a la insurance company!
Thanks Biggus for all the help/company/new routes/advice - and for taking pics (I still haven't worked out how to post them!).  _________________ An open mouth is a straight line to the mind.

When was that then?
Thanks for a great day Bob, I really felt like I was 'flowing' today. Haven't smiled so much for ages .
Such pretty villages and towns we passed through too. I never knew Essex could be so quaint (Basildon it wasn't!).
We'll have to do it again soon, but I'll arrange the meeting point next time . _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

An impromtu ride this afternoon taking in the OLD A2, some coastal road and lanes as far as Reculver,then a short blast down the old thanet way then coming off and aiming for canterbury we fell upon this little treasure
http://www.thegroveferry.co.uk/home.html
maybe a bit arty farty for some but nicely settled by the river, good food and friendly staff.
ate our fill then headed straight back home through canterbury and back onto the OLD A2
glorious!
edit* since found out this is owned by the same people as this
