Default Well worth the wait

After ordering a Deluxe 2 months ago it finally came in and I was able to ride it home today. It was well worth the wait. I ordered my bike because I wanted ABS and security and none were to be found in my area. The local dealer was top notch and very helpful and friendly.

We have had excellent weather up until today, now it is drizzling and a major cold front is moving in so for now I can just admire its beauty in the garage.

My Triumph now has a new stable mate and I now have a no frills classic Triumph and a badazz new Harley.

Love the Deluxe. That's a nice ooking Trumpet you have there. I want to see a few pics of that bad boy. Sadly I'm looking to sell my 68 TR6C. No time to build it right now. Already have about half the bike powder coated too.

Congrats and glad to hear you rode it home instead many who (WTH trailer/dealer delivers) wait until it's dropped off.
