The new TEX (Gen2) still looks a big, top heavy beast although, hopefully, the disasterous reliability issues of the previous bike will be a thing of the past. Triumph need to get this one right.

I shall have a good look at the Birmingham NEC 'Motorcycle Live' UK Bike Show next week.

Quite like the look of the new Bonneville range, but I can't really justify having something in the stable that will only get used on a sunny Sunday. I might have to try one though, if only to annoy my neighbour, who has an immaculate 1960 Bonnie as an investment - it never sees the light of day, cocooned in his garage. What a waste.
