  2. I hope that all goes well for both of you
  3. crikey, sorry guys, didnt realise that you were that lazy.
  4. like to keep it short n sweet
  5. we are 3 boys in our family........... ANYWAY. Back to bikes. I am DEFINTELY now looking at either the Sprint ST or the Futura or the FJR. The ST and FUTURA are approx the same ish, lightish and perhaps a tad sporting. The FJR heavier and a tad more touring. They are quite differant. Whats your thoughts FJR owners............
  6. theres a cpl on there now.................I'm considering one..... But torn between the Triumph ST and maybe ba Futura
  7. mmmmmmmmm go to ebay and look it up

  10. My wifes Mother has/had 22 first cousins up there! I think the only Ward farmers left are near ST Gennys! We had many a fun afternoon on the canal back in the 70's when we were going out

  12. 7 views and no replies. mmmmmmmmm helpfull lot huh!!
  13. Morning all. My first visit and post here. After being in the US for 8 years now, and missing biking from back in the UK, I have the hankering for a bike again. MY good friend, a non biker, has just got a nice second hand HD Sportster thingy. Now let me just say that if you like that sort of thing...fine with me, BUT, it aint my cuppa tea! So have been thrashing around, wondering and pondering what to get and am sort of narrowing it down. Went to a local dealer that had a cpl of '06 ST's. After my '93 trophy, they felt way too sporty for me. Little did I know, DUH, that there arent any Trumpet Trophies any more. There didnt appear to be much wind protection, the seat was way lower, a common complaint on the Trophy was it was too high, but at 6'1 didnt worry me. There was too much lean forward for me. And power............better get plastic diapers/nappies ready. So, back to the search. Havent seen a Futura here in the US yet, I know they are rarer here BUt sat on one a while ago and it felt nice .....so.... Am now looking at perhaps an FJR, as there are a cpl around here for sale but no Futura's. Mainly me but with the other 1/2 occasionally. Not much opportunity for scratching around here etc.... Occasional weekends away, but mostly me pottering around instead of the R Rover. Therer are a lot of blind deaf n dumb car drivers here in the North of Tampa bay area, so figured a BIG bike "might" be more vis. Late 40's now, 6'1 and 195 lbs Is the older ST, say 03/04/05 a more "touring" than "sporty". And the Futura too??Or os the FJR a better all round bet/.................... Bugger This also posted in the general chat area to get max exposure
