...Well, maybe not everywhere...but in more places than I'd thought. Today was el tigre's 1st service and what should I behold, down at PJ's Triumph in Albuquerque, but another Tiger. No--make that two!
Holy crumbs, this is as many as I'd thought were in the whole state! (See post over on Triumph-Tiger, 2nd page of Has Anyone Noticed thread.) One was BRG and the other silver...and both were customer orders from back in October finally being delivered. Furthermore, PJ sez he's now sold his entire allotment and can't get any more. Hinckley's done making them, he says: they finished the production run for 2005 and THAT'S IT. Hmmm! Anyone know different?
On a different note it's awesome to finally open the big cat up. So this is what it's like at 7,000 rpm! Wow...sure is fast.
Just wish I could hear the engine over all this f***ing wind noise!

I just got an Arai Quantum. I'll only ride with (WHAT??) Arai or Shoei, what terrific (WHAT? SPEAK UP!) helmets they are. The bike is still (I CAN'T HEAR YOU) pretty noisy in the breeze. Maybe I have to do something to the (HELLO? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? WHAT?) windscreen.
Or, maybe el tigre's just the quietest ***** bike I've ever ridden...

Same. Same. Just an ocean's worth of name difference.
