Hello all! Just purchased a 1998 1200 Trophy,getting it Weds next week. My third Triumph. Been off a bike for around 9-10 months after an accident that shattered my tibia, it true what they say about Vmaxs they don't stop or handle, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Decided I needed some comfort, can't bend the knee too well. Hopefully the Trophy will do the job for a year or two. Planning for a new Sprint or Explorer next, didn't think it wise to spend a lot on something I might not be able to ride too far........ Looking forward to getting out and about again, hoping for some good weather for plenty of sunny miles!
Welcome in Pete sorry to hear about tibia and bike being cause of it now you are on a decent bike your not going to have any more accidents ARE YOU any well welcome into a really good forum.
Yippee another real bike.Welcome mate,hope you get on with her,am sure you will, they are very comfy and long legged. Oh they handle and stop pretty good too, the 1200 motor is nice and powerful,ok it aint a vmax but maybe thats a good thing eh???
Thanks for the welcome! Hope the bike suits the knee, won't know until I've put some miles in, sounds like an excuse for a ride, and camping trip to the west country!
