This will be the last Triumph related post but I am sure everyone will love these stories. First of all, I acheived a top speed of 140mph (225km/h) on this baby. It was on the A14 just east of Cambridge heading towards New Market. I think the bike could have reached about 160mph but I never pushed that limit again.
I did however decide that I need to get a 1000cc sport bike next time. You know, something with real power. I decided this on my way home from Wales when I could barely keep up with a guy on a shitty Ninja. At 90mph through traffic I was fine, right on his ass, but accelerating from 90 to 130mph he would pull away quickly. I tailed him for about 20 miles and had to laugh once he got off the freeway, all I really wanted to do was get home and take a shower! I had already ridden 250 miles that day, gotten lost (for the third time) near Birmingham, and ran into traffic and decided to go slow and relax. Oh well, next time...
