    Just picked up a 2020 Tiger, Alpine Edition. Some fool traded it in with only 500 miles on it, and I snagged it the minute I saw it. I absolutely love this thing. :)

    I don't understand how someone could own a bike like this for six months and only put 500 miles on it. I've put 500 miles on it since Thursday.

    My other bike is a 2014 Victory Cross Country, which I also love, but which I suspect will be gathering a bit of dust for awhile while I'm off having a blast on the Tiger...

    Welcome Aaron.

    It seems to happen a lot. Someone splashes out on a bike and then are reluctant to ride it. Sad for them. Great for you!

    Keep the photos coming. Preferably with a nice view and not of the bins.

    Just saying...

    Hehehe, yeah that was in the parking lot of the shop where I bought the bike. Any further pictures will definitely be in better locations.

    Like from the trip to the Rockies in Colorado that I'm planning for this summer...

    Greetings from New Jersey.

    I'm a first time Triumph owner - 2018 Speedmaster, leftover bought new.

    I owned several Vics
    2001 V92C
    2006 Vegas
    2004 Touring Cruiser
    2010 Crossroads

    I owned the TC twice. Traded it in on the Crossroads. I missed the old girl, bad. Saw it for sale a year later on Ebay, got off the Crossroads and bought the TC back.

    Bins? Never even noticed them because I was so focused on the bike; had to scroll back to the pic to see them. Just keep the pics of the bike and the stories of your rides coming, @Aaron Brown.:)

    Ahh, that's a nice set of Victory bikes you've owned :)

    I've owned:
    • 2004 Kingpin
    • 2012 Crossroads
    • 2014 Cross Country 8-ball (current)
    And this is my first Triumph as well.

    Nice. I loved all of them, but my TC was special. I got off it because I've been hearing about parts availability issues and was concerned that some time down the road there might be problems getting parts. Anyhow, I'm done with HD and was pissed at Polaris for dumping Victory, so Indian was out. I bought the Triumph and it is just a ton of fun.
