Thanks for the advice. I have been riding for almost 40 years so it's too late in life to get too careless. I do like speed and performance, but I also like being healthy so I am usually pretty cautious. Sometimes it's just knowing what you are capable of doing. I have a Vette, which I have had for 3+ years, and only once have had it over 100, and then I had it up to about 150, just to show a Mercedes what it could do when he was challenging me. What a rush!!!! I figure it will only take once to let my friends know what this bike can do, and then I doubt that they will challenge me again, but I do like the idea of teasing them at first and then smoking them. I do have another question for anyone that can answer - how hard and approximately how much time does it take to relocate the license plate to the side and put on new turn signals? Is ii something that an ordinary Joe can do or should you take it to the Triumph shop?
