Thought my bikeing days were over,turned 69 this month,first bike in 53.Sold my last bike 3 years ago.While driving around Atlanta with my daughter,we drove by the Triumph shop,said lets see whats new with Triumph,know you had a few back in the old days.
I took delivery of a new 05 BA last week. Did the AI,Jets,muffler thing.I must admit i'm most impressed with the performance,I only have 165 miles on the first run,a far cry from the old T-110 days.
looking forward to the meet here in Georgia in May.

What color did you get?
Ride Safe,

Welcome James. It sure is great to be in your 60s and have something that we really enjoy and gives us something to wakeup for.

I appreciate the welcome from you and all the Triumph gang.
The last 2005 BA the dealer had was the beautiful green which was the one I was looking for,I got lucky .
I must say all the colors look good on the triumphs,I would have been hard pressed not to have purchased any color if it was the last one.

Congratulations! I'm convinced that riding's better as you get older. I got my first and current bike last October for my 59th birthday and have over 2000 miles on it now. Nothing like winter riding in southern california - of course, I haven't tried summer riding yet! I'm looking forward to it, though.
