Newbie from Kent, UK

Hi everyone! 

I've recently purchased a 900 06 Trophy and have affectionately named her Doris!

I'm 29, live in north Kent, UK and commute the 76 mile round trip every day into central London. I've been biking for almost 10 years now and over the last couple of years, made the move to tourers for a combination of comfort and common sense (to calm down my riding style).

Just over a month ago, I said goodbye to my original model ST1100 Pan following excessive gravel and mud on a bend and needed something with a slightly smaller engine due to my loss of no claims bonuses. I'm still a regular member on the Honda Deauville UK forum, and after asking advice of fellow riders, decided that the Trophey was a good place to go to.

In the last few weeks, I've knocked up ~2k miles and I have to say, she's more comfy than the pan!!  (Might be because of my stubby little arms!) The only down side so far is the engine heat being thrusted into my crotch during the hot days whilst riding at a crawl through city center traffic.

I'm looking forward to many more happy miles and hopefully meeting some other local members for outings and maybe an occasional unhealthy fry ups!

Ronnie

Hi monkeycabbage,  to the forum. If you need a Trophy tank bag let me know I have one from my old Trophy kicking around somewhere. Unfortunately it won't fit the new Trophy so you're welcome to it.
