It is so nice to live shops like these.

Sounds like Triumph might have kicked some US dealer butt because that's the sort of service we get in the UK.

Also, interesting to see that the TEX has been fitted with a Madstad screen.

They are one of the few dealers in MO/KS that can accommodate the demo truck too, so I always head down there when it's in town. Missed it this year I think. Tried to find the days on Triumphs site but they seem to have fubar'd the events page.

Here's my Tiger the last night at the supermarket on the way home from work. That Givi top box sure holds lots of groceries. It's nice to have a bike that you can really use pretty much every day of the year. And she's even more fun on the days that I don't have to go to work - or go grocery shopping. Ride safe my fellow Tiger fans!

That has worked very well for me on the last three bikes I've owned. Certainly not in any rush, the Girlie is still a hoot to ride in the meantime ....

Sounds like a great place to business with. Wish I would have got there sooner for my test ride on the Explorer. May ride it again when I get back from work in January back to back with a Tenere...

Wish they sold Hondas too, still want to try out the NC700X as well. Maybe I can shame one of the local Honda dealers into a test ride...

I bought myself a Triumph Explorer yesterday ready for delivery March 16th 2013. Can't wait to ride it. It's a 2012 with launch pack. I also added to it heating grips and radiator protector. It's gonna be a looooooonnnnnngggggg winter.

Big Jon · 11-22-2012, 06:22 AM

Congrats on the new bike & chill out! Remember, winters in Canada are usually only 6 months long.

Just kidding. It will be worth the wait!

Or as they say, "Nine months of winter and three months of really poor sledding"

M Bouthillette · 11-22-2012, 10:03 AM

Actually right now is still nice weather to ride, but considering that we are on borrowed time, I'd rather wait 'till I take it out. And last year, we had a false start at summer in march, so I'm kind of hopping for a repeat on last year...

Thanks guys
