Gettin' a new bike...

I've been debating on whether I should get a Triumph Tiger 800xc for a while, then the Super Tenere came out. I rode it this morning and it's pretty gnarly. I didn't get to play in the dirt, but I've seen videos showing that it is perfectly capable. I'm really diggin' the big twin, and the fact that it doesn't feel big when you're riding it. I played with ABS and the different fuel maps, both work great. Didn't get to play with traction control, but then again, it was a demo ride. Probably shouldn't drop it...

Anyway, contingent on the fact that I can find a black one in a 300 mile radius, I should have one come April. Bash plate and crash bars are already on the list. I guess the only other thing I could think I would want at this point is a nice luggage set, and I've pretty much made my mind up on the Givi Trekker set.

Lastly, I need a Sena SMH10... unless anyone else has a better suggestion.

YAY HAPPY FUN TIME!
