Good choice, maybe this will slow you down and keep you safer. (doubt it)
That was the most comfy bike I ever rode, even though it was just for a couple miles I was tempted to ask about a trade when I brought it back.
Almost forgot what I was going to ask you .... Is that 1700 upgrade done factory or at the dealer? I assume the TOR's have to be done by the dealer since they are "off road use only", but I didn't see where the jugs were done.

The 1700cc kit is a only dealer-installed option, at least at the moment. Next April Triumph will release a Limited Edition 1700cc ex-factory.
The TOR cans : either long, i.e. std-looking, with a reasonabaly muffled sound or short, which are too loud IMO. They are on the accessories list, dealer-installed as well.

The problem, Jim, is that particular color was for 2010 only...now you can only get the Storm in that configuration direct from the factory (1700). I had to jump on it back in November as I was told there were only two left in the US and it had to be shipped from California.
It is a great color...I'm glad I was able to get it...maybe in a year or so they'll (Triumph) bring that color back. Now I just have to hope they'll put it on a R3T for the 2012 year...can always hope.

How are you Molinoman?
Not much going on T'Bird-wise on this forum, I have regretfully noticed. I tried a US-based, T' Bird-only forum for a short while, but I was taken aback by the *****in' that was going on in there about the T'Bird (e.g. endless and obssessive posts about "belt tension and/or alignment", minor teething problems being blown up as "major design flaws" , etc. ) and a relative lack of humor. I have resigned from it...
Take care of your good self. Best regards.
