Hi there MIG
I’ve had my 06 classic for about 5 years and love it.
I will see if I can find some photos and throw them up

Hi Tal
I Am a member of the Nelson Chapter of the Triumph Riders Club
I just haven’t been very active with them due to crazy work life but that is changing this summer cause life is to short not to ride
good to hear from you look forward to meeting you on the road soon

Kia ora, great site this. Have learnt **** loads...even built a rocket from parts with some knowledge from here, now all up & running great!
Where are you based...

Hi there
I’m based in sunny Nelson
Glad to here about the advice I’m currenly just about to give my 06 classics a 20000km service
the oils are no problem but the radiator flush is a bit daunting
without a service manual I just want to make sure I get it right

Wow that's low k's for an 06
I have basically 09 classic....frame & front but with parts from all different years, including a 16 roadster engine with only 2000 ks to date
Also an 06 standard had front new with 90,000 ks.
Got a long time friend in Nelson ..Graeme Towns..
Hopefully get down to see him over xmas if this covid muck allows!!
Happy rocketing

Ha yes I know Townzie IWas in the Black Horse Riders with him a few many years ago
I got lucky with the rocket brought off a dairy farmer in Gore who only put 11km on it in 10 years
From what I can gather he was a bit scared of it
Had a bit more get up and go than his AG 185
