Really honey, I *NEED* another motorcyle.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited. I keep staring at the picture of a white one on the inside of the the accessories book. lol

I got a really good deal on the bike, IMO. In addition, I got $1000 in accessories (Triumph promotion). I opted for the 3 box kit (panniers and top box). I also got a AFX FX-16 fullface helmet in the deal. I like AFX helmets. This is my second one (I also have a modular FX-28).

The bike was suppose to be a demo bike for their open house last weekend, but they didn't get it ready in time so they just had it on the showroom floor with zero miles. I inquired about riding it when I was getting the new (per recall) tires for my R3T this past Wednesday. They had it ready Friday when I towed my Rocket in (see clutch thread). I was the first and only person to ride it.

Sweet. Is the AFX an expensive helmet? I need to look into some full face helmets to go with my groin rocket.

I'm not sure of the exact price, I got both of mine with bike purchases (Rocket last year and Tiger this year), but I think they're around the $150 range give or take a little. I really like them, however. I have the FX-16 and the FX-28 modular. They fit my head better than other helmets I've tried. They're also very comfortable. The FX-16 has DOT, Snell and ECE ratings. The FX-28, because it's modular (Snell doesn't rate modular helmets), only has the DOT and ECE ratings. Here's a link to their website.

I picked it up this morning and got to ride it home in the rain. Dammit! lol

I've uploaded some pics to my "albums" in my profile. Here's a link to one of them.

It's a thing of beauty... I see lots of good times ahead on that macheen. Paul would be proud
