As many of you know, I've been very frustrated by the carb issue quite a lot of us seem to suffer from. As I dont ride every day, or even every week these days, I always get running problems initially. Couple that with a damp garage and its actually becoming dangerous to ride, as I have a 100yd grass drive to get down on full choke, and then negotiate 5 miles of traffic before I can get her cleared out.
I finally got the funds allocated, and bought a 2012 xc in Orange, with Triumph Luggage, hell that stuff sticks out.
Going to fit a centre stand, and heed crash bars, but it quite a beast.
Mixed feelings, as the Steamer still has the look I like, but looking to the future I think less pain involved.
Going to be removing all the goodies from the Steamer, to return it to as close to factory as poss, with a view to selling, so will probably selling off Givi pannier mounts, Thunderbike Bars and Venom cans, along with many spares and parts soon.
Probably post a heads up in the for sale section soon.
