Somehow Talked Into A Test Ride - leehenty - 14-01-2022
Went to Pure Triumph to collect a gear selector for a water cooled Bonneville that had a no speed drop on its left side bending the gear rod. Whilst in there waiting for them to find the ordered parts, I wandered over coffee in hand to look at a Tiger 900 Rally Pro parked in the shop as you do.
Came out with parts and booked in for a test ride in April. Its a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy. They deliberately offer you a coffee while you wait , and park shiny new bikes all over the shop right next to you.

Resist, resist, resist, and enjoy....

Its a very nice looking bike with all the bits probably north of £15K, the young lady in there has one or two very obvious advantages over her fellow salesmen.

I guess the question is, will it really be £10k+ better than a niner? My guess, probably not.

Legs? - I've found that ladies legs leave something to be desired .........

Well not legs exactly , the upper superstructure was nice to look at

Problem is if I have the Tiger 900, TDM would have to be sold to make room, thats asking a lot as Ive had her a long time. The Tiger would have to be absolutely fantastic.
Just got the email from Triumph quoting bike price as I asked it to be specced with boxes etc ,£15,400. Jeez bikes cost a lot these days.

I test rode one a couple of years back. Nice bike but the price scared the crap out of me and the tracer with boxes was almost £5000 cheaper.
Still got a 9er as you know.

I got barred for asking for a pint and a quickie, turns out it's pronounced quiche.
