Nicely put together vid there Mav. Now this bike is a keeper - remember where you heard it first 😁
yeah, fab weather today, about 22° just right for a ride round the swiss mountain back roads..., wanna come join me?
Always had a sweet spot for the Triumphs, the models with left-foot gear shift (too old now to work a right footer without unexpected emergency brake stops). The lack of space in my garage (2 bikes and a car) has always hindered me on getting one, that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it. I've only ever seen them in stock trim, Vic's has really been spruced up with taste, so much so, it's messing wiv me 'ead and wallet..., got me doin' me sums !
Yep, I also feel a little sad that the Swiss adventure is history, I always felt a little bit a part of the gang, when you were in my neck of the country. I see you didn't waste much time getting rid of the motorway sticker. Good Video again, thanks for the work and effort and all the hours you have sacrificed for our entertainment..., greets again from Switzerland, S.
Hi buddy, sooooooooo miss your neck of the woods. Got to endure a British winter of just miserable grey wet roads before 2024 comes. At least you get proper winter and stunning snow scenery.
Love you guys and its a cracking triumph aswel victo ❤
I had hand problems mainly thumbs on my old triumph tt put that down to the riding position. The bmw no problems
Nice vid Mav,what a cracking bike Vic,bloody L mate you change em,like i change my socks lol ;-0
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Jump to 5:35 for the start of the actual First Impressions.
Nice bike Vic!, Enjoy!!!
Stay tuned for next weeks installment of Vic's Bikes to see what he's getting next lol
I notice the same pain at the base of my thumbs when riding the Speed Twin. I think the handlebars angle back just a little too much at the grips. Also the throttle is less snatchy at slow speed in rain mode.Triumph do a quilted flat seat for £300 but dont expect touring comfort.👍
It’s a lovely bike don’t get me wrong l, but if Vic comes on a big tour again I see him changing it.
Nice review thanks guys
Is it a shorter wheel base than the other one you had vic
You on about Vic or the bike 😂
Not sure about that Gordon but I don't think there's much in it. The Twin has a smaller front wheel which helps taking bends.
ge t it checked for carpel tunnel mate
Don’t get it on other bikes
doubt it's that then mate
This might help. On the CrossTourer the rear suspension linkage is often overlooked. The needle bearings get hot and need regular lubricating. If not they seize. This effects how the rear shock works. Once I regreased the bearings, I totally unwound the rear shocks pre load and rebound screw(at the bottom of rear shock). When riding, the bike felt low and wally, gradually increasing the pre load until the bike felt level. Small adjustments to the rebound helped with how the bike feels in corners. To the front suspension there are five rings for the pre load. Again they are adjusted in relation to load, but when all 5 are showing the handle bars feel higher, the two rebound screws should have the same amount of clicks each side, adjust until the front feels good to you. I was riding my Xtourer with too much rear preload which in turn was pushing my weight to the handlebars causing slight numbness. It did take some time to get everything as I liked but is really worth it.
@@frankspeakmore7104 wow thanks for that info I will check it out
Sorry guys but i can't help laughing at you big lads crying about seat height and weight, at five foot five and turning sixty six in a few weeks riding a 2007 R1200R with my wife always on the back it ain't easy being a short arse,😃.Enjoy your new bike stay safe all the best.
😂😂👍🏻
Sounds like you do pretty well. I'm only about five foot six-ish but I suppose every inch helps!! Ride safe pal 👍
