No... 93, that's Ninety Three, thousand.



It had a major engine rebuild at about 30,000 ISTR.   For some reason the inside of the sump plate had been sprayed with paint.  This eventually flaked off and blocked the oil strainer (not the filter) and the result was a new crank and bearings, one new conrod.  It ran fine for another 60,000 miles and I only swapped it because it was starting to look a bit "rough".

21,350 on a '96 steamer, I put the last 350 odd miles on at the weekend, having picked the bike up on Friday afternoon  :D



I'm 'converted', why did I waste so much of my biking life riding sportsbikes????

what about 77.000 on a 99 885carb model although burnt a exhaust vale out on my way back from rome still made it home though.

I rebuilt the head myself when i got back no problems for 400 miles then for some unknown reason a conrod bolt came loose (wern't me gov didn't touch that part)so took it to triumph-ant for recon engine and a 3 spoke convertion
