…gonna be fun. We’ve shelved ‘Tammany’ as a name, and are going with ‘Montecore.’ One hopes it will serve as a reminder that it has fangs and claws, and that I treat it with appropriate care.

Montecore is great. Ride long, and in safety. 🙂
Hey, that looks great!
You’re lucky I’m currently poor, because otherwise I’d have picked that same shade.
Did you get the hard bags, or any other farkles?
Enjoy,
BK
PS: I did like Montecore better all along
Congrats! Sweet ride, love the color!
What’s the big blue box in the backround?
That what they ship them in? 🙂

Very nice. I’ve read on another Triumph forum (had 1050 in the name, don’t remember for sure) that the yellow production run is done, so this will be rare for a couple of years.
I trust that you will have many happy (and fast) miles on Montecore. But looking up the name in WikiMeaningless, I see the following caution:
“However, captive tigers are known to be dangerous even when supposedly tame, since these animals usually retain their predatory instincts.”
Prey on, and keep the rubber side up,

Beautemous. And I can definitely see how it would clash with the ‘Stitch – maybe you should go with red…
Marc,
Are you sure you didn’t mean “Manticore”?
Either way, kewl ride!

The manticore was also attributed with having a voice that was the mixture of pipes and a trumpet. The beast is very swift and makes very powerful leaps.
No, “Monticore” as in Siegfried & Roy (or ‘snack’ as Montecore apparently mistook him…)…

Oh, and I took it for the 1st real ride today…

Excellent! Ride safely, ride long, and live it up on your mechanical beast. 🙂
