Onkel Neal · 02-03-13, 11:34 AM

Haha, I don't have the kind of money that machine costs

I can feel Ya on that!

But you picked a nice leanin' post. There's hope for you to see the light yet!

Onkel Neal · 02-04-13, 08:18 AM

That's a nice bike to lean on but I'm a 15,000 mile a year rider. I need a bike that delivers

Hunter is a lot closer to the source for spare parts than me.

2 friends of mine rode their Triumph Tiger 955i's down under (Australia) and nailed 10.000 miles on the meter in 8 weeks without any problems.

Bike that delivers...Pfah

Anyway glad too see you've at least tried one

So in other words you managed to wreck your Tenere and needed a new toy?

Come on, you would have been disappointed if I had said something nice.

I am a bit concerned by the decimal point there rather than a comma...so you're selling it for €4.50, is there anyone in Spain who can afford that? I mean, that's the entire yearly budget for the Spanish government isn't it?

Hasn't it had enough power or why do you sell it so soon after getting it?

When I was a young fella, back before electricity, I had one of these. Didn't have the green on the tank. I think they make 'em better now. I remember it leaked a bit, but was a lot of fun to ride. She'd go.

BTW, nice bike Hunter, I hope you enjoy.

it was time for something a bit more bike then the Tenere while honestly the Tenere is a fantastic fun bike and I didn't had the intention to sell it untill I saw the Triumph Tiger.

When it comes to traveling the Tenere has some limitations while it's doable due the vibrations of the mono-cylinder after a long period of times limbs start to fall asleep or feel numb for quite a while, in the mountains it's an excellent bike but on long more smoother and straighter roads a mono cylinder stops beeing enjoyable and you wish for small roads to come soon. As said the bike apart from that was excellent and if it wheren't for the Tiger I would've probally squeezed out more years as I was really content with it for the 3 years I've driven it.

This Triumph while it offers me double the Horse Power it has something what I found more important...it's engine is a 3 in line which is smooth as butter making it a excellent bike to travel which I discovered trying an older Triumph Tiger of one of my friends. It was then I took a look at the dealer and when I saw the bike in the flesh I was sold. It was a hard decision as I didn't want to let go of the Tenere but I couldn't affort to keep both nor do I want to keep both as the Tenere will probally end up gathering dust and I rather have it going to someone else who would enjoy the bike as much as I did on the road.

Seeing as how I'm currently in a good mood I'll do you a favour....give me 100 Euro and I'll take it off yer hands

I've owned a 'few' bike over the years.
I really like them all for what each machine does for thier rideing style.

But I'm a Triumph Guy till the Universe goes boom, and 'Lucas' is but a distant memory told about only in whispered corners to scare little kids.

(Lucas is why those Brits like warm beer)

I can say one of the best things Nancy and I did was to buy the '04 America and the '05 SpeedMaster.

Both have been the most trouble free rides we have owned to date.
I don't know why getting parts for any Triumph would be a problem now days.
Heck, I live in No Where Land Ohio and a Triumph Dealer is just under 10 miles away!

Onkel Neal · 02-05-13, 11:46 AM

look what I saw today at the Triumph dealer
