Had an Aprilia mille for 4 weeks didn't suit me, like riding a plank of wood. And was so uncomfy. The triumph is more my style. Don't know how long I will keep it. Performed just perfect today. So this year I have tried an inline four, a v-twin and now a triple. Seems pretty decent on juice kev.done 270 last week on the mille,sore wrist,elbow joint arse neck etc.this week,felt great no problems.

Cheers Ste. Yes, he didn't look like he had any visible injuries,but he had lots of pain from his back.how he didn't get cut to Fook ill never know, because the hedgerow he smashed into was about 10 foot high and huge branches. looks like it was a case of target fixation. Very lucky.
