Re: [emrat:2614] My Triumph Love Affair . . .

You know, Dan, I briefly considered the V7 Stone as well but to be honest, the reviews are very mixed.  Seems like a bike that is "like the old days" but not necessarily in a good way, i.e. you don't want to buy the one that was assembled on the Monday after a big holiday because quality can be hit or miss.  I think I prefer the boring predictable reliability of the modern Triumphs and Japanese bikes.

Mr. Curtis Graves suggested I consider buying some other brand of bike, like the Motor Guzzi V7, given that I now own six Triumphs.

 

Attached is a photo that shows why I'm so devoted to Triumphs: rural England, September 1971.

 

Yes, that's me, long hair, John Lennon glasses,  an iconic Belstaff waxed-cotton riding outfit, British army boots--and my brand-new 1971 TR6R Tiger . . . . which I still have.

 

Three months, and 6,000 miles later, when I returned to London, I think my genetic structure had been modified to include tiny Triumph logos.
