That's a nice bike. I like the Triumphs myself but somedays you just need to ride your Harley.

There are things you can do on your Tiger that you wouldn't on the RG and vice versa. Congrats and enjoy the ride!

I don't normally like the crotch rocket type bikes, but with the bags I really think yours looks great.

Traitor, hardly! I have been the proud owner of a 1997 Triumph Daytona for the last 10yrs, and had 3 different Harley's in that time. I still hop on it from time to time and go really fast, then take it home!

Well, I guess even the little parking light is history now. Not a part left similar to early Trumpets.

Triumph - good move. I've always wanted a Bonneville T100 and finally brought one home.

I had a Bonneville bobber I rode all over Colorado when I lived in Boulder back in the 80s. There's not much of the modern Triumph line that I don't like.
