You have a very brave and understanding wife to venture on a 900 mile Triumph
ride. I drove mine home 850 miles on the day I bought it, but that came with a
non-charging electrical system in Indiana, a loose and rattling exhaust in KY,
a 75 mph rear tube blowout near Lexington, and a grinding rear end the entire
trip. 36 hours total time to get home. Now that I've fixed all of those
problems, I'd probably have a nice list of others if I did it again. Good luck
to you and don't forget a flashlight and extra batteries!
