    Hi guys,

    So i recieved my dream bike last week and this seemed like a great place to geek out on triumphs ( lord knows my SO is tired of hearing about it xD)

    I'm 30 yo, hailing from the east of belgium and i can usually be found riding around the eifel region of Germany.

    In any case here is a picture of my baby! IMG_20170302_165314.jpg

    How can i NOT post a photo! I keep walking past my window just to look at the beauty parked in the back of my garden :-D

    Sadly the weather is shite and triumph seems to be having some trouble getting me the paperwork to register her. It should be here by Wednesday.

    Well i seem to have broken the ice nicely by making a fool of myself :-D in that case yeah it's a good backyard, about an hour and a half on the freeway.
    I also go to the belgian ardennes but that really is filled with hazards xD

    Wilkommen in my backyard :D:D:D (being from Germany, I am entitled to this little jokeley snippetry.. :rolleyes: )

    Disregard the above. You have a great bike there and I do exactly know, why I restrain myself from booking a testride; I'd end up doing something...
    ...financially unwise... :confused:
    Anyway: have great fun and beware of the German car-twats. There's a couple of them around who run their vehicles by their iPhones, it seems... ;)

    Cheers!

    In my experience the belgian drivers are much, much worse.
    It's actually one of the reasons i keep coming back to your backyard :D (that and the fantastic roads of course)

    I think that the Belgian and Dutch drivers are on such high alert looking out for cyclists that they have no time to look out for anything else,
