Some don't stop at the side-panels but go for an overall theme - often fantasy related. This is an award-winning bike in the UK that has also travelled in the USA and Europe. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #thunderbird #lovecraft #cthulhu

Some people love customising their bikes with artwork - usually on the side-panels and tank. This Nightstorm has very thematic side-panel art. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #nightstorm
There's still quite a few older (20+ years) Triumph adventure bikes around. The Tiger 955i used the versatile 955cc EFI engine as used in other Triumphs at the time. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger955i
It seems that the most popular Triumph modern classic is the Street Twin (now the Street Twin 1200). It's got some performance and is good for distance too - with a good choice for luggage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #streettwin #streettwin1200
What's the most popular luggage system? Givi, from what it seems here. Fits most bikes and has been around for donkey's years. Nice Tiger too. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger900 #givi
Even though it's only a 400cc machine, that doesn't mean it can't cover the miles. All you need is a seat cover and luggage and you're away. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #speed400
Where is Laurence today? It's very warm here... #whereislaurence #seaside #sunny #beach
Back to the Tigers and yet another Tiger 900. This is the Rally Pro which is more off-road biased (wire wheels and longer suspension travel). #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger900 #tiger900rallypro
So, what's been popular Triumph wise in recent years are the new 400cc models. The Speed 400 may only be a single, but it's really all you need for a relaxing ride in the country. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #speed400
Better late than never... another Tiger 800, more luggage, and another seat cover. I do like a bike in white. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger800
Another Tiger today. This time the older Tiger 800, in blue. Again, with luggage and again with a fluffy seat cover... well it did come all the way from Lincolnshire to the South coast. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger800 #tomcc
Sunday's Triumph is very bonny - being a T140V Bonneville. It has USA option bars and tank, and is in excellent condition. A classic Triumph that is still used today. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville #t140v
Today's Triumph is yet another Tiger adventure bike - the Tiger 900, which took over from the Tiger 800 range. Good for long distances with the luggage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger900
Just a tidy Hinckley era Bonneville. Not much more to say. It is used for forays into Europe judging by the UK sticker (yes, there's one on the back too). #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville
Thursday's Triumph had far to go... but all in a day's ride for a Hinckley era Bonneville T120. They even managed some sarnies in the panniers for along the way. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville #bonnevillet120
Today's Triumph is another of the popular Adventure style bikes they produce. The Tiger 900 GT Pro is more road-focussed with a lovely triple engine and can handle luggage and a pillion easily. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger900 #tiger900gtpro
The Bonneville Special, or T140D, was a factory custom from the Meriden factory. 3962 were produced from 1979 to 1980. It should have a 2-into-1 exhaust but the UK tank was an option for 1980. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville #t140d
Today, it's the turn of another Hinckley-era Bonneville T100, with panniers and a high-screen, in a lovely red/silver paint scheme. #triumph #bonnevillet100 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike
Sunday's Triumph is the Tiger adventure bike. Not quite the Explorer, but still, the Tiger name has been associated with the adventure bike style since the mid 90's. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger
So... it's sunny... and it's a Sunday... so where am I? #whereislaurence #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #streettriple #streettriple765rs
Saturday's Triumph is the venerable Tiger Explorer. This is an XC model meaning it's more off-road biased with wire wheels and suspension to match. Helps with pot-holes. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger #explorer #tigerexplorerxc
It was tricky getting this picture - but it's a rather nice modern Bonneville T120 though I'm not sure about the bars... but that's just me. At least there's room for a pillion and tail pack. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bonnevillet120 #triumph #tomcc
Seat covers can give luxury and relief, but surely the fluffy ones can get a bit waterlogged in rain? Still, nice engine bolts on this Tiger 955i. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger955i #tomcc
One of Triumph's most popular modern classics is its Speed Twin 1200. It's a good all-rounder with classic looks and decent performance. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #speedtwin1200 #tomcc
There have been two types of Tiger for quite a while - the R type and the C type. This one is an R type - the XRt is a road-focussed touring machine, hence the cast wheels. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tigerxrt
Keeping with the white theme from yesterday, here's an early Hinckley Bonneville - complete with luggage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville
Yes... it's mine... but I love it so any excuse for a picture of my Daytona 675R Gen 2. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #daytona675r
It may be boiling out, but this is what I do every sunny Sunday. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #whereislaurence #triumph #daytonamoto2
So, here's the next Triumph... resplendent in yellow it is a Bonneville T100. This had come all the way from Manchester to Hastings. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonnevillet100 #tomcc
