    Hi all,

    Based in Somerset UK and just purchased my first Triumph motorcycle, a Scrambler 1200xe. It has not been delivered yet but very much looking forward to learning more about the bike etc.

    Thank you for allowing me to be part of your community .

    Chris

    That looks like an agile steed for the country roads there! (I lived in Hull for a short while and toured most of the country whilst there). Since I have alloy wheels on my Sprint GT and Trophy, the spokes catch my eye. What do you think of those?

    Thanks Rob, exactly why I bought this one, matches the roads here perfectly, can’t wait to take a run out through Cheddar Gorge!! Love the whole look of the bike, wheels and all. It’s a mint example, struck lucky I think.

    What a beautiful setting! I just looked up Cheddar Gorge, and the terrain looks fantastic! Not sure about the touristy stuff, although a quick visit to the caves might be interesting. But the roads through the limestone gorge should be fun! On a nice day, I suspect that you won't be the only bike on the roads! Please post your own photos when you get the chance!
