    Hello folks.
    I'm a yorkshireman the wrong side of 21 who now lives in SW France. I ride a 2017 Africa Twin but fancy a Speed Twin to complement it (and tow behind our campervan when we head off on trips...It seems the perfect bike for this) I'll do some reading on here. go view a few bikes locally and make a decision.

    Well this may be the shortest period of membership on here.....wife and I went and looked at the stock in our local dealership and even if only for 1 hour rides, the Speed Twin and Bonnie are simply too small. Nothing else really appeals in the Triumph range at the moment.

    @Boristhebold That's no reason at all for leaving. No matter what bike you ride we want you here with us.
