Good morning all, I've been riding for 45 years. My last several bikes (all cruisers/tourer's) Goldwings and the like. I'm about to (maybe) trade my 2013 Victory Cross Country Tour in for a 2017 Explorer 1200..... that's if I can quit glaring at the 2018 tiger every time I walk in the shop.... I'd sure love to have that quickshift and weight reduction. But I'm sure getting a heck of a deal on the 2017 model (XCA) with bags. I'll keep you posted. Larry
Welcome Larry, I was lucky enough to spend Christmas in sunny California back in 2002, stayed in Laguna Beach which was great, but remember going to a Triumph Dealer in San Diego called Rocket Motorcycles, bought a couple of tee shirts with their logo on the back which I still have somewhere. Sorry for blabbering on, both nice bikes so heads you win tails you win!
Well, it's official. My Victory has been traded in for a .......... 2017 Triumph Explorer XRT in cranberry red. Pick it up tomorrow evening.... Can't wait!!!!!! Glad to be part of the club! Larry
Now it's official.... it's out there sitting in my garage. Absolutely amazing fueling... on/off throttle is like a carb engine. And the brakes!!! coming off the Victory.... It's like I just have to think about the right lever to stop.
Welcome Larry. Good choice buddy and cracking deals on the 'old' bikes that aren't much different in the real world to the latest version.
