    Nice! How is it that those of us "of a certain age" are going back to British??? (Or in your case, sticking with them)

    Yeah. I've had a few Jap bikes, then a German one then on to the Brits. But once you own a Triumph its hard to switch to anything else

    Won't be long and I'll join the ranks of having two Trumpy's to chose from! Trumpy - VL250 doesn't quite cut it!
