    My first ever Triumph landed 2 weeks ago.... I’ve always had jap bikes of various sorts, sport sport tourer, adventure (KTM 950) and still own a TL1000r too. Flogged my VFR1200f as I realised that I didn’t need to go at light speed everywhere . So anyway I’m in sunny Somerset (Portishead ) and am enjoying my Scrambler 1200 XC. I’ve added some farkles and am running CAT free so no hot legs for me. Great bike:)
    Here it is :)

    I see you’ve a 2002 RSV... I’ve got a 2000 Suzuki TL1000 which when I occasionally ride it makes me realise how much tech has changed on bikes and how much better modern fuelling is amongst other thing..... here’s my duck arse bike :)

    Nice bike.

    On an artistic note, a photo without the bin would be sweet.

    Hopefully you will post some more scenic shots from your future rides.

    Cheers. Much nicer image. Amazing how many pictures get posted with bins in shot.

    Totally detracts from the awesomeness of the bikes.

    Please forgive my OCD.

    Is that the model Chris Pratt was riding in the latest Jurassic Park film. It was a really good advert for Triumph and it meant my wife and I both enjoyed the scenes where he rode the bike but for very different reasons.
