Congrats

Really nice bike - enjoy! Nothing to be ashamed of, either. After all, it's a motorcycle

I was thinking the same thing- the contrast will make me appreciate the triple for what it is.

Tut, tut, TUT !,,,does anyone else need to confess ? come on, there must be at least a couple of Virago riders lurking in the shadows here, step foward now and cleanse your souls.

Errmm.. in my shady past I've owned two Virago 1100s The first one was a mistake, still not sure how the second happened. Anyways I'm all cured now. I think.

Nice Tiger Neil. A 1st gen Tiger was high on my list but I figured it would be too similar to the Tbird.

Slinky, which of us doesnt have a dark secret in our past?. I hope that your confession was cathartic for you and you have now moved on in your life to a better place.

Yes, both the Bonnie and the Tiger are lovely bikes, I wouldnt mind a Tiger myself, there, Ive said it, Ive said it and Im not ashamed, I WOULD LIKE A TIGER , in fact I feel much better now for confronting it,,
