Yesterday Taffy was causing much interest at the Triumph dealer next door to my work place.

Today Geoff Bevan (Triumph Delership Owner) called in to see me.
I have known him for some years and he has previously offered a test ride on any bike in the dealership; but I never found the time or was too far away.
He said to me ''Nice bike that Yamaha Adam; maybe you should try one of my machines?''
So I agreed, and sttled on trying bikes from opposite ends of thier range.

First up will be the new Triumph 400. 40 horses and just 27 ft-lbs. Should handle well.
Build quality is fantastic for what is an entry level bike.
Price from £4,995.00 Thats cheaper than some Royal Enfields!

A bit intimidated by this beast. 3 cyclender 2458cc monster engine.
Torque is 163ft-lbs and a full 165 horses through the back wheel.
At £22,695.00 (£24,000 for the Storm version) I dont think I will be shopping too soon.
What a contrast in machines. Booked in for next Wednesday, weather permitting.
I will let you know.
