They have a good solid rep. Feels like a horsebox to push around though. Out tomorrow I hope.
Flighty whitey for a while.

Got her back
Got a decent deal to buy it back. The full value was low due to high mileage, but then, so was the salvage estimate.
The hanger / control panel is on order from Triumph. The rest I will bodge, source on the interweb or simply accept and up with put.
Bottle of bubbly au frigo for tonight.

Final twist in the tail, a leaky fuel line. Spraying everywhere.
Went to the marina chandlery and got a metre of 10 bar line and some clips. Sorted...I think !
Tomorrow is another day. The only thing between us and victory is defeat.

Did a pretty loop up through Dursley and Stroud. Nothing fell off or dripped out. Weird riding position after the Honda though, so a little achey.
