Good vid and advice. Got my bobber used, but its mine…well end of the month it will be.

I had a Triumph Bobber......then some Git pulled out in front of me......now I don’t have a Triumph Bobber.....the only things I got out of it was ...2 fracture ribs....punctured lung.....and a broken scapula ( shoulder ).....but it is a Great Bike and I hope to get another......👍🇬🇧🤓

Ooh! I do hope that you are recovering well, and that you get to get back in the saddle and enjoy a trouble free motorcycling future. [From a fellow Brit who is loving his '21 Bobber.]

@@winchester92stevebrook44 Ride Safe My Friend.....My Bobber was written off unfortunately.....looking for something now.....I’ve got a GS 750 1977....it’s very Heavy.... and since being knocked off lost a bit of confidence.....so I need something like a Bobber it a nice riding position and a lot lighter than the Suzuki.....I’m in Kettering Northamptonshire.....God Bless Mate .....Jesus keep you safe.....👍🇬🇧🤓

Good stuff lol. I am actually supposed to go test ride some Harleys in Golden Thursday. Looking for a lot of the same reasons. 👍🏾

Did you get one?

[@urbanadventurer5]

@@zeromileadv I came really close, but no. The two bikes of theirs that really interested me were the new Sportster S and Pan America. The Sportster S is so sweet looking in person but I hated the forward foot controls. It just felt weird to me. The rear suspension on that bike is also pretty much nonexistent so hitting a pot hole or riding on rough road is not a good time. I almost bought a 2023 Pan America Special (in yellow), it’s a sweet bike. Unfortunately, they were over charging by a significant amount. I talked them way down but they were still asking for too much more than what is on the Harley website before you add on dealer fees, taxes, etc. This was a lot more than what the bikes are selling for elsewhere. They called me like 5-10 today promising me a reasonable price finally but my wife and I had tickets for a concert in Boulder so they were basically a day late and a dollar short. The positive thing I did learn from this experience though is that I really like high performance retro bikes like sports/power cruisers and retro nakeds. I may take a look at the Indian FTR or Scout Rogue or the Indian XSR 900, etc.

[@urbanadventurer5]

@@zeromileadv I am pretty sure I will get a Yamaha XRS 900. I found a used one locally today and I loved it. I probably hold out until some new 2023s or 2024s show up around here, but that bike is probably my next purchase. I liked the Thruxton and another couple of retro style Triumphs I saw as well though. Enjoy your Bobber man!

[@zeromileadv]

@@urbanadventurer5 that XSR 900 looks awesome! I really want to ride one of those or the Kawasaki 900 RS. I love that vintage cafe race style

[@urbanadventurer5]

@@zeromileadv I agree 100%.
