Thanks Mark (fixed)Er...how about spelling Hinckley correctly?
I had a 1993 900 Trident from almost new for 2 years and really enjoyed it. I’ve just checked it and the MOT ran out last year, and it’s still only done 38k miles. I then got a 900 Trophy for a year until the Blackbird came out - I was sold immediately after one ride.I have a very early (1991) 900 Trident which I bought when it was twelve months/1,000 miles old. It has now coming up to 104,000 miles & still runs perfectly. My wife & I have been to France thirteen times, Switzerland twice, Spain twice, Italy, Andora, & Germany. The only time the bike has let us down has been due to the ignition control unit, the coils, & the ignition pick up, all of which are German made PVL. These items have been replaced with British made Gill parts which Triumph fitted to slightly later bikes anyway, & have proved reliable. The engine oil still doesn't require topping up between 5,000 miles changes, & the powdercoat on the frame is still in excellent condition. I upgraded the front brakes many years ago to four pot calipers & floating discs, & changed the starter sprag at 70,000 as it was just starting to slip occasionally. I also rebuilt the carbs, Mikuni BST 36mm as the flat slides run in plastic guides which are a sacrificial part to save wear on the bodies. As they wear the slides start to move at a slight angle, which then wears the needle jets/ emulsion tubes.
So all in all a very good bike, but compared to my older bikes, a little bland.
Yes, it's ฮิงค์ลีย์Er...how about spelling Hinckley correctly?
It covers what you would like. It’s just another place to discuss as well as the RAT.Does "modern" cover everything from the 2001 Air Cooled carb'd & later EFI bikes through 2016 or does "modern" mean only the latest water-cooled? All models or just the retro classic types?
Did you tell him that your bags were there just to allow you to collect bits that had fallen off the Harleys that tried to do the distance?View attachment 105896View attachment 105895Here's a modern Triumph out on tour about 1500 miles from home base. That was the trip where a Harley owner in Wyoming walked by and sniffed " You won't get far on thet Triumph set up like thet!"
