Wonder who he is collecting it from? Cheers Ian Lind HD in Watford - the unit next door to Lind Triumph, from whom I bought the Tiger. The Sales Manager for both is ex-Palmers Triumph in Hemel Hempstead, from whom I bought two Triumphs previously (in fact, most of the team there transferred to Lind (presumably under TUPE) when the Palmers dealership closed its doors).

fastbob Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 And as you probably know by now I have Ian's Harley . The Sportster was a great bike but this thing is in a different league and much closer to what I imagined a Harley should be like . Off to Scotland on Saturday morning . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Frog Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 OOH! You don`t seem to have shiny rings around the ends of your pipes for you to polish. I bet you are disappointed lol. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your new friend as much as I am enjoying mine and it seems like @fastbob is quite pleased too! So everyone a winner.

learningtofly Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Another 60 miles on this beauty of a bike today (so the best part of 170 miles since picking it up). I feel like I'm beginning to understand what it's about, the things it excels at and the times you have to treat it with a bit of respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looking good Sir! If the weather is kind and you have the time let me know if you would like to meet up one evening in the week for a chat and exchange of B.S Lol.

Cheers Ian Could be difficult mid-week as I tend to be working till late. If you fancy hooking up one weekend that could be more doable, though.

learningtofly Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Lovely ride into Essex for a spot of breakfast this morning, and found myself parked up next to a Road King and an R9T! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
