Well........I thought I had better own up to my terrible deed. I have traded my 01 Bonnie in. I bought this bike sight unseen from an ad in the newspaper back in 2001, and I had to wait a few months to get it.
It had been a long time between drinks for me, the last bike I owned ( Commando 850 ) I sold back in 1985.
The Triumph was a wonderful bike which gave me many hours of fun and enjoyment. I had all the extras I wanted on it , Tach, Knee pads, crab rail, center stand, chrome rocker cover, off road mufflers and triumph saddlebags which I bought to do a RAT run last year.
People always asked me about it, And I always told them that it was a great motorcycle. It was really very strange cleaning it for the last time ( this bike had never been wet ) however polished often. Riding to the dealer I felt like a traitor ..........but what can you do . Four years of great fun, it had to end one day.
I bought my new bike on impulse, just 2 hours after finding out of their release, but then again I have always knew I would try one at least once in my life. I am very happy with this new bike I have to say, one of the few bike makes with that certain something that the japs cannot copy. Triumph has that too, thats why I will always like them. My new bike is a Ducati S2R monster. A brand new model for 05.
I wish you all well with your bikes, they are truly magnificent machines. Even if you don't approve, take a look at the S2R, it is a great looking bike and is related very heavily to the S4R.
Keep safe everyone :wink:
