Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on October 30, 2008, 05:33:52 PM: Couldn't agree more Bryan.

I have ridden my Triumph Sprint 12k miles this year (so far). It's fast, handles, brakes, fast, sounds gorgeous, fast, no carbs, no choke, no fuel tap, (did I mention that it's fast?) and it is Tornado Red which is the same colour as the Ferrari that was next to me at the petrol station tonight.

However, at weekends I like to go out on my 500/4.

I'll always have one.

How's 036 coming along?
