>>Triumph Tiger Explorer<<

British bike huh?

MY father rode a Norton (or BSA?) until he slid and broke his left leg in several places. Walked with a limp until his death in 1946. Only British product I drove was an MGB roadster.

The first car I ever owned was given to me by my dad when I was 15. Triumph Spitfire. Slow as Christmas but the girls liked it. Convertible top that lifted off and stowed in the trunk. Wire wheels with knock off hubs. Four on the floor and bucket seats.

But like everything British made at that time, unreliable.

The current iteration of British Triumph motorcycles are much different from the ones of old. They've got a solid rep. I used to ride a Triumph Scrambler but it was too squirrely at highway speeds. The TEX (Triumph Explorer 1200) is much safer when staying ahead of the soccer moms in their SUVs texting on their cell phones while sipping their lattes.
