Yes! 
Finally! Some decent motorbike weather (bloody cold still) and as I was thinking No1 son would never let me on the back of his bike.....the bribery of a Creme Egg worked!
A bit concerned about the Speedo, it is white with red marker which as we shot off down the by-pass only looked as if it was saying 20 (minutes) to the hour
We were doing 50mph, not fast, but I expected to see the marker further up. My bike would be registering at least on the hour or 5 (minutes) past
We went over to my parents, they have been itching to see the bike and mum even managed to get out without her frame to see it. The last Triumph (well any motorbike for that matter) she sat on was in 1957.
That's when my dad pointed out the Speedo was marked out to 180mph (which finishes at a marker showing 10 past the hour).
I don't think I'll be going out on it in the near future
It isn't the softest of rides and there is nothing to hang onto except No1 son, the foot pegs aren't as high as some but my hip is aching after getting on the back after 3 times in less than half an hour.
Brilliant ride though
