don't let the door......naw, jk.

Your post wasn't a rant, but rather well said. Just remember they're all just machines. They are used and will break. Some sooner than others.

Good luck with your Triumph. A friend of mine bought one a couple of years back....nice little scoot. Sounds like yours might be a bit bigger. Have fun and stay safe.

Take care and ride safe,

Yeah, Honda for sure! Those things run so damn well.. my dad has an 05' VTX that is carbed and shaft driven. Very nice ride!

Gratz' on your new purchase man! Hopefully it works out for ya.
