Hope the Triumph forum is more tolerant than the Yamaha Forum. I had to give up on them because of all the Harley Bashing on every thread. Seemed like no matter what the thread was about some joker would work a bash into it.

To the OP, No, You done great! Those are awesome bikes and I would love to have one.

I DID KEEP THE RG SO IT'S OK? RIGHT?
No flames from me. I've owned many Triumphs, BSA's and Nortons in my younger days. Would like to have another in my future some time. Enjoy it.

I'd like one for a second bike - for hitting the gym, store and local stuff. Used to be a Trumpet mech many years ago. Once built up a 750 Bonnie to be a bad bobber; was one of my best bikes of all time.

It's good to see Triumph reborn and doing it right. The only Brit bike I ever owned was a BSA 500 Victor, which I could start on the first kick.

Tiger is an awesome bike, rode it, fun. But, I'm pulling the trigger on a Sprint GT as soon as I hit the states, rode it, FUN.

I agree with most. It's always OK to have a bit of diversity in the stable.

Where are the PICTURES!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Any body riding a Triumph ain't a traitor in my book. Wish I could get one and still keep my Harley.
