Would be very interested in hearing your comments on the Trophy when you have some seat time. I am thinking of replacing my BCR with a comfy high speed touring mount. Short list is FJR, Trophy or maybe an older RT (oil head, hex head or cam head depending on funds).

I had three Tigers in the past (855 and 885) and love the Triple. But the Trophy is a big girl but she sure can dance!

I ordered a replacement pair immediately when I got home. Same model, same color. The hard knuckle protector on the right hand was smashed flat across its top, with substantial evidence of abrasion, along with about 20% of the leather all over; palm, right index and middle finger, etc. No breaches in any spot, and no injury in any way to my hand.
Hit a cow. Totaled a bike. In the hospital for a couple days with "nasty leg injury." Promptly orders replacement gloves. LOL! That's the spirit!

Thanks for the feedback. I have enough of their stuff. I agree, most of it is crap. I need some new cool weather gear. I have serious concerns about this Sidici "Arturo" suit I have.

Glad you weren't seriously injured. Sorry about your bike. Hopefully the check they cut was good and fat!

I got curbed yesterday at an intersection turn lane.
Let off the clutch a little to quick, stalled started it up and this jumpy the gun clown whips around me as I'm turning runs me along the curb and his SUV.
Hit the ground goodby side LED's and crashed my left elbow into the curb, it looked like Popeye last night.
Ice packs and a six pack, today it's much better no broken bones.
Funny at least 15 cars around and no one got his tag? :mad:
Anyway nothing as dramatic as you're dealing with and hope all is healing.

Too many idiot drivers out there, I'm putting a dash cam on my S10.
