The Trumpy- again!

When it comes to this bike, I am so biased. Triumph made the "Nuclear Red" colour for just three years and only one year in this model/body shape. I bought it sight unseen- the dealer said they had one in black and "one of them poofy pink ones in the warehouse". DOWN went the deposit.
That was three years ago. It's been dropped twice- while stationary. Both times by Rachel. Bless her. It has a bellypan that I took off in the second year to "toughen" it up.
It's had 9 new rear tyres and 4 fronts. It's turned 100+ laps of Phillip Island, 30+ laps of Broadford and a couple of unofficial laps of Albert Park. I've geared it down slightly by adding two teeth to the new rear sprocket (at the suggestion of t595.net members).
I just love it. Too much love to sell it. Despite what my Mum says.
Update:
The trumpy is back on the road after some months of neglect. So, keep an eye out for the pink flash. (ohh errr Mrs Slocombe!)
