Finally, I have a Triumph!



Much like another new poster, I got it from Craigslist at a great price. The previous owner did not have time to ride and didn't want him to sit all lonely in his garage... Lucky me!



My other bike:

1990 Kawasaki Vulcan 500

Now, if I can only get the weather to cooperate!

Thanks, guys!

Phil - it actually took some getting used to (the width and the weight), but within a few miles it felt like everything was right...

TonyG - it is indeed.

Nice bike, great color too


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
