Nice review... Since Seattle's weather is akin to the UKs I suspect the gear would work well here. The only Triumph dealer I've been to in Issaquah, doesn't carry much of Triumph gear. When I open "kpaul's Triumph of Seattle", I'll make sure to have lots of gear on hand.. Note to self: Go test ride Daytona 675 this weekend.. take checkbook and pack a suitcase in case wife throw's me out.. "Seattle Triumph" sounds better huh.
