Last week Nilla made the step up from Honda to Triumph. After she first rode my bike a long time ago there was not really any question about it just a matter of when, we fund the right one last week a 05 America in perfect condition and for the right money. Yesterday she took the first ride out on her new bike so here are some pic´s of a new proud America owner!  it´s mine!  Nice day for the first ride on the new America  /Johann

Congratulations on the new bike.
Kalous dromous! as we say in these parts ("good roads" - roughly meaning "may it travel far and well!").

You have a wise woman there Goose. Can't vouch for her choice in men, but her bike tastes are excellent. 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Very nice. Won't be long before she adds enough chrome to out-do your steed. Any chance of a better look at the graphic on your front fender?
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Oldrodie, The pattern on my bike are decals made for me by an automotive decalshop its not painted, you can se more of how it looks in this picture or in my picture gallery. We will tinker with Nillas bike until she get´s it the way she wants it, did put on my rear rack and Raask pipes for now but more to come. Priority one is to get rid of the AI but have to get som squirell condoms first  /Johann

Whee! I love the picture where Nilla has her hand lovingly placed on the tank.

" Johann , come quick , I felt her kick , see , yes , just put your hand right here , can you feel it , too , it's wonderful " ! At that moment she also realized that her own heart was pulsing in perfect harmony with her Bonnie , they were to become one , the wind brushed back her golden hair , the verdant leaves rustled overhead in gentle confirmation , and....... I gotta stop ,.. start over again in Tales From a Swedish Road .  ( two bikes , two hearts , one spirit )

That's awesome that a couple like that can ride the same bikes , it's romantic , too. I bought my bride a 1200 Sportster low so we can ride together , now she says she kinda wished it was an America like mine . Now she tells me , I could have saved 3,000.00 . I wonder how many more husband / wife dual America owners are out there ? Ian and Wendy , yes .

Congratulations to Nilla!  What a feeling! Raynea drives our bike as good as I do, but she will not drive alone. Her left knee is trash and she is too insecure about it to ride by herself. I don't know why she thinks I can help from the rear seat? I am just thankful that you guys get to share that experience together on your own motorcicles. Don't get me wrong, I love having my fabulous bride with me, but to see her riding beside me would be a great thrill for me. (is there a side car in my future? Oh No!) 
Ride Safe,
Dennis
Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

Wade,
We bought the bike from a couple where he had a HD softtail and she the TBA and the Triumph was just to big for her, she is only 154cm tall...
Guess what she bougth instead? yes, a 1200 Sportster low but she was not happy to part with the Triumph but hoped that she would feel more comfortable when able to reach the ground with both feet´s sitting on the bike
Btw. Liked your "Tale from a Swedish Road"
