I have to wonder why we don't have those on our NEW Triumphs??? Follow me??? I installed a Digital Volt meter on mine,while others have installed an oil pressure gauge on their's.Why don't the new Triumph's have those?? Instead,they use idiot lights.The problem with idiot lights is,when they come on,it's usually too late!!   See where I'm comin from???

It could give all kids of data to keep you informed of the condition of rthe bike. I can't wait for that stuff to land. Did anyone see that recent article of cartridge type oil and filter change systems? Just like a printer cartridge ... at a predetermined reference point the vehicle tells you it needs it oil changed. You unlatch and detach the complete container (incorporates the oil and filter) ... stick the new one in and hand the old one back for recycling. Lovely.

The museum suffered a lot of loss in a fire a few years back, and hopefully they have recovered.
I want to visit, and take my sleeping bag as one day couldnt possibly be enough
