Thruxton R Ride just to Burn Gas

I'm out today riding my Triumph Thruxton R to keep the gas from getting old in the tank. I don't ride it very often but, when I do it reminds me what a perfect motorcycle it is in every way. This is the top tier of modern classic motorcycles.

I bought mine a year ago, it was 7 years old and had been ridden only 2,700 KMs. Now approaching 18,000. Yes I ride to burn gas but also go to a shop. That's a round trip of 30 miles. On a narrow backroad, With straights and twists. These well engineered bikes are a lot of fun. I like the low revving motor with enough torque. Its a light bike with excellent handling. I put T120 gearing on it and it lopes along at low revs, 3300 at 65 mph.

Not here in the USA! It's Aluminum. Different words across the pond for the same metal.
