Red face traitor?

ok...ready to take my flaming...lol. went out yesterday and bought a new triumph. just wanted something diffeent to ride from time to time. got a new 2010 tiger 1050. called an adventure bike but seems to really be a sportbike for old people. has a more straight up riding position and std. bars. the other good thing? not a s**tload of parts available so maybe i won't spend my like i have on the roadie. I DID KEEP THE RG SO IT'S OK? RIGHT?

If there was a Dealer near me I might be riding one instead of my Wide Glide. That way I would be riding something different than all the other OLD men.

My first bike was a Tiger 750 back in the early 70's. I loved the bike and wish I still had it...But wouldn't trade my SG on one. But adding another bike to the stable is nothing to feel bad about....Like was said, now you can also get on the triumph forums.

I saw a show of the production build of the thunderbird 1600. What a sweet ride!
And that 1600 side by side is a great engine!
