Tony, I think it is time to trade that Triumph in on a RT. Since I bought mine in 2006, I have not looked back. I can understand why Bear feels like a king. It is really a great tourer and city commuter Very Happy

I am in discussions with Piet from Speed bike in Klerksdorp. As i have a Kawasaki ZX6 to sell as well I am hoping that he can trade both for the price of a full house RT. He is looking for a decent cover price on my Sprint. As soon as that happens then a deal will be done. I must also talk to Bavaria in PTA and see what they could do.

not much you can do with a 49cc...... Laughing

but yes, we gutted the exhaust and removed the baffles Embarassed

not to have the fastest bike......just to be faster than the neighbour.....and to annoy the "tannie" living accross the street.

She looks great Bear. Many happy miles. What type of GPS mount did you use for your Zumo Question I have the ram-type mount on mine but it sits a bit high No Yours looks much better based on the picture Very Happy

Very pretty indeed. Love that color. I was wondering how the Zumo is mounted. On the Sprint I have used the standard bracket that bolts to the clutch lever retaining bracket but the RT has so many gadgets on the handlebars that that is not possible. I saw the bracket on Andre's bike on the photos taken after Milly run. Still not able to sell the Sprint but I continue to persevere.

Congatulations, Many happy miles. Saw the way that Andre handled his machine this weekend and if that is anything to go by...you sure have a dream machine. Take care of her and she will take care of you.
