My wife really is awesome, especially when we agree




I'm definately going to have to use that one on my girlfried if I can have copyrights to your phrase there Steve. I think both of you will really enjoy your new Triumph. I did 500+ miles (solo) from San Diego to Tombstone in middle of July (freaking hot) and not a thought of any problems.

The girlfriend has been climbing onboard a lot more lately (installed a tall sissy bar) and we've been hitting some of the scenic routes here in southeast VA. At a total weight of 350 or so pounds and averaging 55ish mph, I'm still getting right over 50mpg. And somewhat like you, she's already talking of getting her own ride (hopefully it'll be another Triumph).


2005 America, green/gray, gutted stock pipes, tall sissy bar w/ luggage rack, Saddleman's dual touring seat and Tourmaster saddlebags (and sissybar bag).
