... for showing amazing levels of restraint ...
Let me bore you ...
Glorious weather today and for the next few days.
I went for a ride, as you do, and ended up down near the dealers where I've bought all my Triumphs from.
As I'm near, I decide to go in and have a mooch through the shirts etc and see what, if any, goodies are reduced.
(I can always haggle a bit off anyway).
Anyone who cares to listen will know that I love my America.
Dirty and a bit rusty in places but it's mine and unless anything seriously hits the fan, I'm not selling it.
The Scrambler though, it's no secret that I love riding it and it's great fun, but if something came along, I'd trade it in.
.. at the dealers
something came along!!.
Outside the dealership was their demo Rocket Classic.
I was just gonna have sit on it but ended up going for an hours test ride ...
Oh dear!
I've ridden the Rocket a few times - had one for a day once.
I wanted one again!!!
The Classic has the more laid back bars, foot boards etc.
First time I've ridden with foot boards and though I got on with them, the optional extra price is too much for what they are for the America.
... unless you ask me next week when I'll probably spring for 'em
Anywho ... I don't have a spare £12,300 ($21,200) burning a hole in my pocket so finance and trade-in was agreed.
Delivery in around a week ....
Then I let my concience (and wallet??) open it's big trap and I decided that I didn't know what or where I would be in a couple of years and decided against it
I was a couple of mouse clicks away from having it and I decided against it.
I only went in for a shirt!!!
Did I bottle out or show amazing restraint?
Interesting to see the US list price is $16,299 - thats around £9,500.
I'm off to cry a little now ....
