    Decided to risk the weather they forecast rain they also forecast rain for today but we saw none so decided to risk it and ride down on the Triumph Trophy 900 it's 211km according to google maps be the furthest that have ridden the Triumph in one go so far.

    Originally was looking for a 5th Gen as frankly the servicing of the V-Tec is sort of worrying but cannot find one for sale closer the two I did find are about 4 1/2 hrs drive away at least this is 3hr 22min according to google.

    This 2008 has got 54,000km on the clock according to the listing will see when I get there need to check the tyres and see if there is any service history but not holding my breathe on that as many for sale here in Bulgaria do not seem to have it.

    Good luck Plezier. I guess the service history is a bit hit or miss as even this bike is 18 years old. Listen for camchain noise (a clattering a low revs), don't fret about clutch rattle (which should silence when the clutch lever is pulled) as they all do that.
