Triumph newbie

[mando]

Hi all,
first time Triumph owner picked it up last week Saturday and went back in on Friday for its first service, I saw the TCF at my dealer and he sugested I sat on it cause it was clearly something I would want to have, I had already read the tests of course so I asked them to put the GT seat on and rested my feat at the front cilinder for a feel as I had it in my mind to get a GT but with the handlebars of the R, it felt right! I made an appointment for a testdrive mid March, first on the GT and then the R, both rides were good, the R was more direct steering wise but my hunge was correct footpegs forward was way more comfortable but the drag style handlebars of the R felt better, my dealer had one of each comming in and 3 weeks ago the GT finally did, ordered the R handlebars and been riding it for a week now, LOVE THE BIKE!! setup is perfect for me (6'5" 270lbs) with the footpegs completely forward and the handlebars of the R this thing handles superb!! I can recomend this for all riders that are 6'2" or taler>

hope to share a lot with you all
