1996 Triumph Trophy 1200 (owned)
1996 Triumph Trophy 1200 (owned) This is my return to motorcycling after a 17 year hiatus raising a family in which I sold my beloved 1983 Gold Wing Standard (non-Interstate) in 1992 to buy wedding rings...or as I joke...I traded one passion for another 😀. I opted to import a US bike from Boise Idaho which turned the event into a grand adventure in celebration of my 50th B-Day that involved a bus ride to Seattle, then a flight to Boise & an overnight stay with the seller. If this bike was not to my liking I had 2nd Green 1998 Trophy 1200 lined up in California...always good to have a back-up plan😎. My blue Trophy & I had a rocky start with the bike displaying the well documented fuel starvation & erratic idle a few times due to a kinked fuel line under the tightly packed tank a few times....but I knew it was an easy fix & nursed it home. The route home was through mostly familiar roads up the mtns west of Snake River Canyon, then west along the Columbia Riv...
