Went to the big city after work today and saw the Roadster in both colors and got to hear one. They sound great and the dealer told me that D&D is in the process of buliding a set of shorter pipes for the Roadster. D&D is based in Ft. Worth. The pipes are big, but I could live with them. I still want one but you know what they say, "want in one hand and sh#t in the other and see which one fills up first".
If I'd had a helmet, I could have test drove one. If this dealer would have offered me a helmet, maybe he could have sold me three motorcycles in less than four years like my current dealer (who loaned me and my wife a helmet) has.
Triumph has decided that after years of record breaking sales in Canada, they love us enough to say that one Roadster per dealership per year is plenty. I understand that the Calgary stock sold out in about 5 minutes.
I suspect it will be a few years before I get to see one in person.
