Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

From the 1996 UK Triumph brochure........... so is this fellows name Barnaby, perhaps? Erm, who twiddles a (waxed) moustache these days?

I will now run to the sidelines, grab a beverage du jour and some munchies and watch what happens.  :augie

Handlebar only required facial hair for Red ones.
Blue ones require the full ZZ Top  :augie

That reminds me, I need batteries for my beard trimmer and a new flag for the tent before my next camping trip, tally ho!
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Pip, pip old chap. Top hole, and all that. Hmmm, Stanley is a red one, so I suppose I'd better start re-growing the facial hair asap, pdq or in a timely fashion in time for Spring.  :icon_wink: :icon_wink:

Have 2 tigers.  A black '04 we call Betty.  A White '13 we call Lilly.  Also have a '96 Trident that lives out of state.  Call her Trixie.

Meet Lucy!  She was purchased for my wife, Michelle, to be comfortable for travelling.  We've put 30k miles on her in the last 3 years.  I named her after Michelle's nickname, because she always has some " 'splaining to do!"

We also own "Bonnie", named for obvious reasons.....

Loving the riding gear too. 50% safety conscious, 50% devil may care with a Scottish twist.
