Monstrous!

I never thought that a motorcycle could be this size outside a US Big Foot stadium, but this thing is really quite big; I reckoned on needing a small mortgage and when I checked the Triumph website I found that I was only slightly out.  It was telling that the video appeared to be set somewhere in the USA, where the speed limit would make a mockery of  two wheels driven by a 2.5l engine.

But it looked impressive, and my first view of the bike is in the Extra: something that looks beautiful in engineering terms, but which lacks any practicality, particularly in today's world.

Although I was envious . . .
