I know and agree with your sentiments.... Triumph is probably lettered through my long bones like Blackpool rock.
I too reject the 1200 series as they're just a bit too small physically and not practical for my touring needs( let's not even mention the hipster image).
I've also missed the the contact with my well respected Triumph shop ( Jack Lilley).....
So I pick up the tbird on Saturday and, guess what, snow is forecast.


I took the Road Less Travelled. Now where the ****** am I?
