First ride really

[glenn2926]

Well I bought this on Thursday and tomorrow is the first time for a day out. I’ve ridden it about 20 miles so far and it’s taking a little while to recalibrate my riding to a boxer again. They’ve come on a bit since my last 2005 GS. It does retain much of the old charm of my 2005 model but with very modern enhancements. Just hope it stays dry for the day. Johnny Baghdad’s for breakfast then up to Tan Hiil and back via the Kidstones for a steady little ride.

You won't be dissapointed. They sell plenty of them for good reason. That dealer looks familiar are you in Yorkshire?

were 5 PX'd triumph tigers 900/1200 lined up alongside the service desk on Friday guessing yours was one Glenn. A few ducking those expensive valve services maybe.

Exactly that mate. It has about 18250 miles on it in three years. The 12000 mile service was nearly £900 and it was due another valve service next March. Great bike but just too expensive on the servicing front. Shame really but surely Triumph must be aware of why many of us a chopping them in.
