Last weekend I went on a couple Triumph demo rides at Erico Motorsports in Denver.
They had four different bikes to ride although I only had time to ride two of them. The dealership is in a very urban part of Denver and the demo ride itself was kind of hairy–Lots of dodging cars and navigating through traffic. But, all in all it was a fun time.
The first bike I rode was a 2023 Triumph Tiger 850:
Let The Good Times Roll!
The Kawasaki “Good Times” demo tour came to the Fay Myers dealership this weekend so I went down and did a couple demo rides.
It was pretty crowded and my time was limited so I was only able to get two rides in but they were both on bikes I was interested in so it was a fun time.
The first bike was a 2022 Z650rs:
Intro I went to the Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, CO this weekend with my father-in-law and brother-in-law and we test rode a bunch of motorcycles. Triumph, Yamaha and Ducati had demo bikes available, but sadly Ducati was all booked up so we couldn’t ride any of them. Interestingly, I never saw anyone riding the Ducatis so I don’t know what the deal with them was. Oh well, we still had a ton of fun and test rode a bunch of different Triumphs as well as doing a Yamaha guided ride.
When I purchased my F800GT off of craigslist the service light was on. The previous owner said that he did the oil changes himself and that the BMW dealership would charge $150+ to reset the light. He obviously didn’t want to pay that so he just left the light on and said it didn’t bother him.
I am not the huge fan of it so I decided to get a OBD reader to reset it myself.
This post is just to show off a few pics of my current and former motorcycles.
I currently own a 2013 BMW F800GT (pictures to come) and a 2010 Triumph Bonneville SE.
The Triumph has an Arrow exhaust on it that sounds amazing. It’s a blast to ride around town and for my short commute to the office.
Here are a few pictures of the Triumph:
I used to own a 2009 Suzuki V-Strom DL650.
