Winter hacking

Fortunately I don't need to ride for work all year round any more, but when I did, this '94 Hinckley Triumph Trident provided (almost) trouble-free winter thrashing for a number of years in London.

I loved it. But it must rank as one of the ugliest bikes I've ever owned.

  2. If that's a $1k jacket, I'd better retrieve it from the damp box it's sitting in somewhere out in the shed.

  3. As a sometime rider of a Suzuki v-strom I find that Triumph downright beautiful.
