Newbie from Luton

Hi Everyone,

Andy from Luton, Beds UK here (Don't hold that against me )

Picked up my new(ish) Trophy se Launch from Pure Triumph Wellingborough last weekend. It's an ex demo bike with 1300 on the clock, so at least I don't have to run her in ! Traded up (?) from a 2010 Thunderbird se. Had a Sprint ST before that. I loved my Sprint but my wife wouldn't go on it. Didn't like being perched over the exhaust pipes. She loved the Thunderbird, but not too practical a touring bike, and she was very sad to part with it. The Trophy will I hope will be our happy compromise. Rode her (the bike, not the wife !) to work for first time today - loved it.

Roll on the long weekend !

Andy

Hi & 

I've had 3 Sprint ST's and a GT (that my wife loved) for various reasons, said they were very comfy for all day riding i.e. 400 miles but I had found the years catching up with me and needed a more upright riding position and lower seat height............then along came the Trophy, prayers answered

Enjoy

I kept my Sprint ST when I bought my Trophy.  I couldn't bear to part with it.  The ST has taken me to so many destinations, even my dream of a trip to the Arctic.  There is too much history to let her go.  So the ST and Trophy are stablemates.   Welcome to the Forum.

You're safe, I'm not a fan of any team in particular, but I do enjoy watching a good game. Had a great weekend getting to know the bike and yes my wife loves the bike. Busy planning more trips now. 
Thanks for the welcomes all
