I'm not entirely sure why I keep doing this but I do.
I keep hankering after another TBA
I've thought about the new 1200 Speedys but they just don't do it for me.
I already have two fine triumphs...Tbird 1600 and an immaculate Tiger 955i with all the desirable mods.
But I so so miss the TBAs
The look is perfect, at 6'3" the size is right, my wife loves the pillion and I've done many many thousands of miles on my previous 3 TBAs.
I always wanted a bit more oomph when I ran them but, WTF, they did all I really needed. We toured two up and other than the pogo rear shocks it was never an issue.
There's now a delicate conversation to have with HER.
I've seen one I want.... gorgeous Goodwood green and silver 790, well cared for and I Want it.
BUT
I'm 67..if I get the virus I'm not even in the queue for a ventilator.
I've got a couple of underlying heath problems.
God knows when I'd get to pick it up or ride the TBA if I bought it
Plus I've just been called back to my original health care profession because of the current situation
So, I could end up dead with 3 surplus bikes for my Beloved to dispose of
But on the other hand, it gives me something to live for doesn't it?
So
I'm waiting for the right moment to have the conversation.
What would you do? ( As if I didn't know).
Watch this space.
