Another year, another MOT sailed through. Hardly turned a wheel since it's last one so no surprise there!

Stunning Bike... I had a couple of Street Triples, the 675 engine packs a punch and very torquey

Pulled the stock shock out, stripped it and fitted the stock spring to a nice minty eBay ZX-6R shock, then did some mild surgery to the undertray to fit it. Then washed it (at last)!

I’ve been lucky enough to have a Street Triple for my first bike and now a Daytona for my second. The noise and handling are so much fun.

Here’s my current steed:

Does anyone on here actually bother changing their fork oil?
Triumph recommend to do it every 24k but after watching some Dave Moss videos i thought id change mine since its never been done.
After 12k it looks quite bad.

Don't assume that darkened oil is ineffective. The only real way to tell is to test its viscosity. That said it's never a bad idea to change it, especially since fork oil is often overlooked, but if the oil is still doing its job, just changing it because its no longer clear is often a false economy.

Bought another one after six weeks of cold turkey. Im a bit old and past it for the chest down a$$ up riding so a more sedate passion is required

Not too bad looking for nearly 18 years old
