Countdown...

[HappyMan]

I might be interested if it is relatively bullshit-free, though the hype so far doesn't give one a lot of hope.  The main attraction for me would be less weight than my Girly, and less oragami-Flash Gordon-aimed at the fifteen-year-old market design.  Beaks, needlessly goofy-looking headlights that look like Bill the Cat or an insect don't impress me.  Neither does folded plastic with zig-zag decals.  And Roadies look like they are grabbing their ankles while waiting for something to happen to them.  I wish that the general motorcycle market was directed in a less juvenile way.
Sorry to sound so cynical, and I do like my Tiger.

Durant, you took the words out of my mouth.  I'm quite interested but tiring of the BS and I agree on the styling although I've found that it doesn't bother me as much as it used to.  I'm getting old....

Well, only 1 day 11 hours to go till they put all the pics together and make the final video  :lol:  :lol:

I'll see it at the NEC probably.  Rumour has it that the show will be better  this year as all the main maufacturers are pitching up.  I'm treading a fine line as the mate I'm taking hasn't had a bike for a long time and wants one.  His wife is all ready to blame me if he gets one and kill me if he hurts himself.

I was at my local dealers at the weekend and they have been assured by triumph UK that they will get an 800 XC in about a week before the NEC  8)

Where you been hiding then Akey?

It's finally on the loose     , everything looks brilliant in the pics and the specs.

Cannot wait to see if the ride lives up to the specs

Another damn wait

I asked in Webbs, Peterborough, today if they'd be getting one before the NEC show,  they said December and asked if I want to book a test ride.

Did Jesus wear sandals????  :roll:

I have to see it in the flesh, sit on it, maybe take it for a test drive.  I am comparing it to the Steamer, is it really that much better for me to part with the cash.

Nice link Neil, but  VERY distracting.  Spent nearly an hour browsing...

I think the proper term for when you get, ahem, distracted by such interesting internet matters and an hour or so goes by, without your noticing is a, "porn vortex".

Huh!  :icon_scratch  how did that happen? Must have converted some air miles into posts   :lol:

Maybe I got Brownie points for trying to sell everything to buy an XC  

Maybe just been talking a lot of Sh1te
