Going back to cruising

Triumph seems to have dropped its equivalent to the Continental. No surprise really.

For me, the Meteor thing is just down to charm and charisma. It's such a fun little bike, it's not fast by any stretch but it steers perfectly neutrally, it stops on a five-pee, and pom-pom-pom's nicely on my eight mile commute mostly through traffic, even out of town the traffic seldom gets over 50 mph.

Before I bought the horrible Mash I tried two of the Royal Enfield 500 singles, one of the Electro Bullets and the Continental. Of the two I preferred the Bullet, the Conti felt as though it should be a lot faster, so it's not just the Royal Enfield-ness, at least for me.

I'm going to try the Super Meteor 650, because I find the mild-cruiser setup is easier on me old bones, but it will need to be one charming m-f to replace the Bonnie.
