All,

The weather was perfect in Albuquerque this Saturday so I decided to take the long way home and ended up putting 200 miles on the T100!!! The more I ride this bike the more I like it. The longest stretch was 100 miles straight in the saddle with no issues (or butt burn!). Average speed was ~ 75 mph and I felt good after climbing off the bike. Handling, braking and power are great! I also got two compliments on the bike before I rolled out of town, even non motorcycle people like my Bonneville. I have absolutely no regrets buying this wonderful machine.

I can't ride mine anywhere without getting compliments. I get everything from people thinking I did a great resto job to saying how much better they like it than an HD. I think people are suprised to see a Triumph when they're used to seeing HD and HD clothing clad riders everywhere. It's a refreshing change.
