No, was having a nose about and really liked the look of the Storm.  Continued shared ownership of 'GT' for a while yet LOL

my mate took one out and said after only 5 miles it was uncomfortable and his missus was not impressed either. this guy normally does 200 miles for a run out.

I can't see beyond Triumph although new to biking.  In saying that just looked out the window and the bin men had all stopped and gathered around my Bonneville.  I got that nice feeling and then a sudden panic! LOL

Was looking at the Storm the other day.  Certainly thumbs up. Thumbs Up

Palamie what is your Triumph dealer like - I have heard a few negative remarks about the Glasgow one?  Did you take the Storm out for a test ride?

Bobkat  the salesman Alan has been brillant.  He is worth meeting. Keeps in touch by email and phone and replies same day no matter the time of day or night if i email.

Only just had the Bonnie through a 6k service and that went well.  I'm sure Triumph has a few probs but yet to see it through my own experience of the dealer.

One exception.  Triumph Sprint GT launched without the topbox being ready.  Due to be fittted next month, thats six months but thats a Triumph Hinkley prob, dealer been very good on news flow or in this case lack of it!

"It Looks badass."

You know what, it's a style of bike that normally doesn't do it for me.

But I think it looks cool as well.

I quite like the look of the HD (spit, spit, spit) V-Rod Muscle as well.  (What am I saying???)  But I'd never get one.  Not unless I have the money to have a couple of other bikes in the garage (Hondas of course lol) and enough left over to hand to GreasyTony to "sort" the V-Rod for me lol!
