Are you and Arsey in a competition for who can own a bike for the shortest time 
In answer to your question, very nice indeed, but IMHO not as my main bike.

My winter project is to make a few "GS" improvements to mine
I have a set of Metal Mule racks sat in the garage
20lt tank being made from here

uprated fork springs
new rear shocks
fork brace
Maybe a Normal Hyde brake kit and engine upgrade
a couple of pics from ADV rider

I had a pm yesterday on another site saying you had one
That picture is so good, wonder if that larger bash plate is a one off or available to buy.
I had Triumphs before the GS's and really like them.
Jim...have a read of Timolgra's old thread about them....I think the conclusion was something along the lines of style over funcion
Certainly looks nice though.......but I prefer the matt coloured street version they have (may not even be the same base bike, I just remember a pic from a BIKE mag ...I think it's still in the loo in the reading pile, I'll dig it out )

And ?
Come on their British
None of this Jerry crap

A lot of the pictures seem to be missing

If your back won't cope with a 650 XChallenge..................then a Scrambler doing that will cripple you
I think thats true to an extent and I bought mine as a Sunday afternoon bike based on looks alone. However whats impressed me is underneath the looks its a very capable bike and it makes me smile everytime I ride it

I'm getting more tempted by the hour

It ain't just the back thing with the XC it's just not me, and no I wouldn't be doing that on a Triumph just some smooth forest type trails whilst out exploring Ooh la la land on my holidays.
Triumph : the idea is nice...but the implementation needs work.
you'll be fed up after a month.
the rear shocks are super shite, the quality of the rest of the parts is 8/10 of bwm - at most.
mostly cheap Italian aftermarket boys roped in to mass production.
A takes more than a set of knobbly tyres to make a 'tuff' bike

Yep the idea is nice and yep even the guy in the showroom suggested swapping them.
Price from Hagon for black rims wasn't too bad (considering the time saved cleaning chrome ones in the future) and the Triumph after market cans sound fabulous.
Engine casing life has apparently been made 100% better by ditching the laquered silver finish and switching to the black powder coating.
