New Bike Day and almost a huge disaster for me !

NOOOOO! I hate to see the Valk go. You were so helpful with your Rivco peg video and I was hoping for more videos on the Valk. Tell that dealer to inform the buyer he MUST join our forum! Those stickers HAD to go. I never used to even think about them until someone commented that I needed to remove mine. Then I started thinking about it an realized how ugly they are, and I actually got some enjoyment out of the process of removing them. Yours looks immensely better without them. Never heard of a bike requiring you to pull the clutch lever to start it before. Weird. I can't believe you hit a deer on your (almost) maiden voyage! You got lucky. Rick and I were riding down the Blue Ridge Parkway a month ago and one jumped out in front of him and destroyed his fender, but luckily he was able to keep the bike upright. Watching that was very scary. Congrats on the purchase, but man I HATE to see the Valk go.

Valk was a great bike, but i just couldnt get comfy on it. re the clutch, Suzuki's are like that, many other bikes not.

Nice bike. I'm always on the lookout for deer, after hitting two of them through my life so far. One with my Opel when it was original, and one with my Chevy pickup.

Awesome piece of machinery. Color scheme looks great. Glad you came away from the deer incident unscathed. Hey........ a Deer attacked a Tiger on highway 63 and the Tiger won! 👍👍

Cheers, i was lucky !

Congratulations on the Triumph, it’s a beautiful bike, and I’m hard pressed to think of a better looking adventure bike. I’d take one over the new GS without hesitation. Pleased you came away from your encounter with the deer unscathed. I’ve had a small one run across in front of me before but nothing like you experienced which seemed more in keeping with what a pheasant would do!! Really enjoy your channel and always watch👍

[@true-moto-resto]

[@S.G.37]

Congrats on your new ride! Reminds me of my Super Tenere, which I rode coast to coast in absolute comfort. I have full luggage and it really comes in handy for the long trips...

[@true-moto-resto]

Thank you !

id watch you wash it i love this stuff ref 2,00 mins in notice id die for a bike but thats silly two awesome bikes btw

[@true-moto-resto]

LOL, thanks !

[@straightchad8059]

The deer encounter didn't spook you like other previous incidents because other times you weren't riding a Triumph Tiger .....maybe the comfort of the bike that eliminated your body ache made you feel steady .

[@true-moto-resto]

IDK, why, it was very odd ! was odd then and its still odd now.
