Well, not mine… yet.
But, I can add one more to the “If I had more room and weren’t already storing bikes in two other people’s garages” list.
Demo Day and open house at the big multi-brand dealership near us. Mrs. G has been giving more “this might be the year” hints about wanting to learn to ride, now that I have my riding job, and she’s finished with a massive school program and work project.
We went and she sat on some small bikes, particularly the Triumph 400s and Enfield 350s. I got on the demo list late and had a narrow list of choices. I selected the Trident 660. I demo’d one when it was first released and was disappointed with the buzziness of it. I wanted to see if a different one, or perhaps a newer one would be different. I love the looks of it.
Night and day difference, and yeah, I want one. No matter, I can’t have one. Besides, the salesman, who knows me well enough, drug me over to the new Trident 800. No demo opportunity unfortunately, but it looks and sounds like a hoot!

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
