I’ve been interested in the Tiger but haven’t thought much about the Triple because of the leaned over riding position. I’ll take another look….

I’ll try and provide a vicarious experience for you through words and pictures!

Sojourner Rides: I’m curious also to gauge my reactions to the different machines. I’ve always felt I was adaptable to various situations. Now’s my chance to test that hypothesis…

Starting off at the top. Congrats on this new venture. One’s perspective is always good to get a bit of a challenge not and again. What a fine bike!

There is something about pressing one’s knees tight around the tank and feeling that power…waiting to see if and how this may shape and/or influence your perspective.

I have always liked their utilitarian nature. And I’m tall enough to not be overwhelmed by the seat height!

Karina Jean: There are a lot of motorcycles there to look at. In addition to the Bonneville I’m hoping to try out the Scramble and the Tiger. Both fine choices.

I’m working on my first write up about the first evening I had with it. It only took minutes to be smitten…

Kimberli: Yes, Kissell’s has a nice white Vespa GTS300ie on the floor. When you look at it you can tell it has extra power. Like my GTS on steroids or something.

Charlie6: I still consider you one lucky dog to have all the rides you do out in Colorado!

Coop: It is sort of intimidating. I’ve met riders who own a lot of motorcycles but for me it is a departure from my rather pedestrian ownership pattern. Already though I feel I should have a second one.

Bryan Edwards: I guess you need to keep your eyes peeled for those factory demo days. And bring your friends who own motorcycles doughnuts until the say the magic words “wanna try her out?”

I would love to have a shop that looks so well stocked and approachable like that down here in my area.

I think you will ride the KLR next. You know it’s just a matter of time.
