    Hiya
    Total newbie to Triumph, so after admiring the triples from afar and test rode them a dozen times in various guises and at different times, I'm happy to say I'm now the proud owner of a brand spanking new Explorer XCA.

    Long time biker, mostly adventure tourers, ridden around the UK, Southern Africa and Australia. I live just just outside Glasgow and looking forward to learning about the quirks, tips and tricks about this machine.

    Hope to meet some of you on the road one day, ride safe. [​IMG]

    Newbie here! Picking up the RS later this evening. In the past mostly ridden Japanese sports bikes. I live in the Bay Area (San Francisco). I am excited to be finally owning a Triumph after eyeing the bikes for a long time.

    :cool:

    Thanks for the warm welcomes!
    Well, one week in, 500 miles done and off for the first service on Friday.
    Runs like a dream, though I did have to adjust a few things and add a couple of farkles last weekend to my preferences.
