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!
