Went to Hattiesburg yesterday with my wife in the truck and I rode this home for my birthday. I have been missing the HP of my old Valkyrie.
I love my KLR but I love the feel of this Triumph. I have 300 miles on it and hope to change the break in oil by the weekend!

Awsome motorcycle. I did the break in on my strom in three days. Now the strom is almost 6 months old with 150 miles short of 3,000 miles, but that will change when I get off work I am going to ride her up to Arkansas and probably have 4,000 miles are better by time I get back. Maybe we can set some records on new motorcycle with the most ride time in a year. I wonder if the manufactors would give us anything for doing it LOL. I just love to ride when I can work a 28/14 schedual. Ride Safe*Ride Free

I'm loving the bike and the power but I have been stopped by 3 diff police agency's in WBR Parish in the last 10 days. Haven't gotten a ticket yet, even the state police stopped me for lane changes without signals. The grin factor on the river road is worth it. Ticketless so far but the bet is I won't make 90 days without one.
