Nice Bike Trav, Not one I know a lot about..
The new Triumph is an awsome piece of kit, with that much low end grunt it will clear up in the American market.

Thanks

The Triumph look assume and will do well here. Triumphs in general are starting to be seen. There are a number of old Dennis Hopper style choppers showing up in the local shows.

Here is a link to the Victory site.

I thought you mean this kind of bike!!!!!!



Why in the world would anyone want to ride a bike you don't have to pedal???? [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[travelinman]

Speaking of pedals, how do you make that go?

[jumper69]

hehehehe....

I have pedals that I install myself. Riders are generally pickey about what pedals they use so most high end bikes don't come with them.
