Tim Davis Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sold my last bike back in 2008 after riding for over 20 years. Finally decided to rejoin the world of riding so I started shopping about a month ago, was looking for a combo of a project and something fun to ride. I wasn't really shopping for a sport bike even though they are all that I have owned since the late 80's. Was looking for more of a sport/touring bike but I happened upon a deal on a Triumph 955i Daytona. The triples have always interested me and this seemed like a fun project. Doesn't look terribly dated and the triple sound and look are unique. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/13254403_797343377068067_8718986159964661704_n_zps4mjrp4xl.jpg http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/13254063_797343320401406_501835044009673697_n_zps9ye8yiqb.jpg http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/13327517_797343313734740_3582688165995727994_n_zpsntkwpxrc.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Nice Bike Tim. I plan on being in Wilmington Saturday. Maybe I'll stop and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have one of those too. Same dumb bar-end mirrors lol get some spare o-rings for the tank quick-connects they love to tear every time you look at them. Let me know if you want a parts bike for cheap.

That's funny on the mirrors, I don't mind the look of them but hate the functionality, or lack of. Been looking for stockers or a better alternative. Hopefully there's no need for a parts bike but you never know. Catching it up on maintenance right now. Still not sure if I'm going to keep it or sell to go to more of a sport/touring bike.

cstmg8 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Cool bike, but now you have to change your name to silverTriple. What's the story with the gas pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Davis Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Cool bike, but now you have to change your name to silverTriple. What's the story with the gas pump? Gas pumps belong to a friend in Cincy, he bought them restored last fall. He has the Sinclair in the pics and a Texaco pump. Both are glass top versions from the same era.

Jewtoys Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Triples are fun! I've owned two speed triples, and a bunch of other bikes. My favorites motors without a doubt. Those three spokes need to go though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Always loved the Trumpet style. It doesn't look dated, it sorta looks like it belongs in Epcot; what 60s bike designers would've imagined a 2000s bike should look like. I dig it, and especially the Triple sound.

Those three spokes need to go though! Agreed on the wheels, typically not noticeable until the wheel is fully exposed like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
