Joining the club

Found a deal on a 2007 Blue and White America demo model with all the bells and whistles. Plunked down enough for them to "install the short TORS and hold her for me" until I

A: Pay off my car AND truck in January
B: Whine enough that my wife let's me go get her early.

I am naming her "Vera Lynn" after another English lady with a set of pipes who greatly improved morale.

On the down side, I have become something of a calendar watcher....

We'll give you an official welcome celebration when the bike is in your garage and pics have been posted.
Until then...best wishes with the Missus

What has worked for me is...

that I have found it "easier to beg forgiveness for my sin, than to ask permission to commit it."

When I bought mine, I put it in the garage next to where she parks her car. She came home from her work, parked the car, and continued with her "after work routine." Neither of us mentioned it until a neighbor asked "They still make Triumphs?" At that time, she looked at me and said "I thought you wanted a black one."

Great choice on the bike. I too just bought a 2007 Blue/White TBA demo model from my local dealer. You will save big $$ doing that. Plus, get it before the end of December to get the $1200 Triumph promo for accessories.
