it looks like the triumph is sold and will be replaced by this as i need a more road focused bike , but i will never get rid of the harley

@Jordonf9:

just time and money.

That's really all there is….

@Jordonf9 Nice Indian!

@Clint_D Thanks for posting the photos. There are some cool bikes there, looks like it was a fun show.

@harley dave Have you considered the R1200R instead of the RT? It's basically the same bike, albeit without half a tonne of plastics on it. I used to run one, and it was comfortable to do 300 mile days, whilst also being pretty frugal - I think that I averaged around 50 mpg.

Good ole saying, If you ain't racing, you are just waiting…

One day soon I will get some real photos of the bike.

i have not considered that as i really want a big fairing and big screen i have had an rt before and they are a great road bike , thats the plan at the moment but as allways my plans change every five minutes :o

Did some work to the helmet….I will need to repaint it eventually though.

Ain't no Indians made after 1953, just sayin'

Suus are a lifestyle motorcycling retailer that's recently opened in Melbourne. They're similar to Urban Rider or The Cafe Racer in the UK, in that they offer more lifestyle orientated technical gear, rather than the sort of kit you'd wear on a circuit.

That's not to say it's not crashworthy. The Smith jacket is a collaboration with Richa, and is leather with D3O armour. Silodrome covered it a few days ago.

Saint are a Melbourne brand that the store that builds gear out of denim, dyneema, and kevlar.. The flight jacket looks sharp, and I'm after a pair of their drill pants.

Oh, and there's a nice collection of bike porn to admire in the showroom…

style over safety any day

That's almost how i choose my bikes… Style over function.

@Graeme I agree with you about the flight jacket! Tasty

Says the man who's thinking of getting an R1200RT, the Volvo estate of motorcycles!

i would have ridden it in disguise 

[harley dave]

the bmw rt plan is out of the window and i am not sure what i will by next

I dropped by the local Triumph dealership today, and grabbed a couple of photos of the standard Thruxton. I figured a few photos wouldn't hurt.

[Jordonf9]

The bike is a perfect contrast for the double ducks

[Jordonf9]

This is what love looks like in my eyes

Jordan,Drop dead gorgeous bike. I've ridden most of the Indians. Really great bikes. I currently ride a 2014 HD Heritage Softail. I live in NJ but get out to Bucks County from time to time. Is that near you?–Jett
