I do hope that you’re not implying that I’m being “catty” and bitter in some way Matt.😁😁🐱
ME.... No. especially as I take delivery of my new triumph trident 660 this afternoon😉👍

Superb news! 🎉 Get a last dig in, I say and then hopefully blow the bad memories into the weeds on the new Trumpet! Will a ride report be forthcoming?🤞

Well Matt, not really a ride report as I only rode it back from the triumph dealership this afternoon. 12.5 miles to be exact. What I can say so far though is that for the money it’s a corker of a thing. I have a personal soft spot for triples so arguably a tad biased but it truly is, on first impressions a brilliant little bike. Very small, light and very agile. It’s definitely heavier than the CCM but feels much lighter when on the move, probably due to the lower centre of gravity. Very early days I know but so far I’ve absolutely NO regrets of chopping the CCM in for it. I’ll give more feedback (if anyone would like some?) once I get out on a longer ride.
Cheers, Michael

Chuffed for you! I do like the looks - compact, nice swingarm and no silencer going across the wheel. Being a modern bike, the radiator suits and like you say, a 660 triple has to be fun, Shirley 😉😄🏆 Always good when a member gets a new bike, even if it's not a single, so I'd be pleased to hear your thoughts.
