      Same. That entire generation of Triumphs were the prettiest bikes the company ever made.

        Man, that is one pretty GS. The pictures don't do the paint job justice. In person that color scheme is just lovely. My new 2nd favorite GS paint job.

        PS. Thanks for Hatch Red Chile Sauce. I'm sort of addicted now. Good thing they put their website address on the jar. I'm going to have order more now before I run out!

            Dang Bob, it almost looked like the fairing on your Triumph was scratched then I looked harder and saw the reflection. Very pretty

              Went for a ride through the local switchbacks for the first time in many years. The area’s police force is very strict on loud exhausts so I couldn’t ride through without being pulled over. I put Marving mufflers on the stock headers so noise isn’t an issue anymore.

                  I like the changes Suzuki made in their bikes starting in 1983',especially the wheels that say "tubeless tire applicable";I don't like to install tubes in alloy mag wheels.

                        Thanks all....
                        I agree, but I am fairly certain the old Trophy will be up for sale in the next week or so...

                          Two days in a row....LOL....

                          Had an appointment at 11am, about 10 minutes from the house this morning. Left at 9:30, and just got there on time...

                              Undecided as of yet. Bought it for two up riding, but the wife quit several years ago, so it doesn't get used much.
                              I wouldn't mind having the space back in the garage, though. And, I also have been thinking about a dual sport.
                              So sigh....undecided...LOL.

                              But every time I do ride it, I start second guessing myself. Triumph does make a nice bike, and hard bags can me nice.

                                A dualsport is about the only bike I can realistically see adding to my stable. I keep telling myself to finish the CB900f, and then my brother (who gave me the Honda, the bike that drew me completely from dirtbikes to the street) shows up on his KLR650.
