A Triumph in the long run

Geoff Hill finds Sport 660 a thrill on big journeys

- Geoff Hill

I studied English at university, but what I actually mean is I got bored very quickly analysing poems to death and spent most of my time editing the student newspaper, running the volleyball club and drinking in the students' union.

However, in one of the tutorials I managed to attend was a girl who was so quiet and mousy she was almost invisible.

Until the end-of-term party, when I was chatting to an absolute stunner and suddenly realised it was the same girl, who'd taken off her glasses, let her hair down and put on a fabulous dress.

Sadly, she ran off with some lucky sod, since I never saw her again.

Which brings me, naturally, to the new Triumph Sport 660, which has just had a similar transformation.

First, the good news. I really like Triumphs. I've ridden one from Chile to Alaska and all the way around Australia for two of my books, and for normal riding, they've got the best handling in the known universe, including Planet Zog.
