...Rode for 5 years with my bike as my sole form of transport but I eventually got cheesed-off with getting cold&wet...Is there anything I can do prior to buying (other than get the best deal) in order to make my biking life a little easier?

Ah ha! Yep! There sure is, Neill.

Move to southern Spain. Maybe even close to that big rock known as Gilbraltar. I mean, you guys at least STILL own THAT, don't cha?

(sorry....you're too new around here for anybody to have warned you about me yet, aren't ya?)

(Okay...Comedy bit over)

Ian and Phil have pretty much given you the lowdown on the most important stuff to look after and possibly alter for the better, so all I can add here is welcome to the site and enjoy that new Triumph cruiser, which you'll find won't be very hard to do, considering you also have seemed to have found the most "intelligent bike" out there to own.(This according to another new member around here by the name of Robert of Verona Italy....I agree with him, of course)

Cheers, and keep that shiny-side up,
Dwight

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
