    Hi all

    My name is Geoff and I have finally become a Triumph owner.

    Two weeks ago I bought a 2013 blue Tiger Explorer and a yellow T595 Daytona. I'm just getting the Explorer tweaked at the moment (replace original suspension links as previous owner lowered it and mount satnav). I've ridden the T595 a couple of times and pleased with the initial outings.

    I've put it off for years as I was hoping to get a very early model but the Explorer came up and I got a great deal for it then saw the same owner had the T595 in the garage, telling me it was also for sale along with another old classic (not Triumph) so after some haggling got all three. There are now nine (9) steeds in the man cave so as you can see I'm very heavily into motorbikes and all things to do with them.

    No doubt I'll be asking lots of questions regarding various subjects on the bikes so please bear with me.

    Geoff

    Welcome to the family. Couple of nice machines you have acquired. Now all you have to do is hit the upload a file box in the lower right hand corner and down load us all a photo of the steed. You know here in the asylum the inmates say no photo no bike. Well they don't really say it as that was just me. Mad as a hatter. But nursey makes me better every day.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.
