| | Posted : 15 Apr 2011 - 23:17 Post title : Re: Proud New Owner (Re: Leethal) | | | Hi . I have the jet black Thunderbird, wanted to go for single colour and as my Fury was blue, wanted to get different colour, so had to be black. The Fury I must say was a really nice bike, a bit low in the power stakes though but a bike like this not meant to be quick. The longer rake and high steering head had to be got used to as turning at slow speed could be bit tricky. But all in all a lovely bike, just wish I could have the 2, fury and bird but live in the real world, mores the pity

The Fury is a nice bike but the T'Bird is much better all around bike. The more you ride the more you enjoy it.

Since I've had my T'bird, I've always thought that there is something missing from it - it's the Triumph logo on the seat. I've changed the badges and yes, this has helped but it's the seat logo.
Must get this done, must get this done, must get ...............
Thanks - oh and welcome BTW
