I tripped over this site back in the dark ages. When it re launched in 05 It took me a month to register again so I guess the question is. Who is still here from that first year and more importantly who still has that bike that brought you here?

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.

Well bought my bike in 05 and still have it but didn't register here for a couple years even though I was aware of the site.

Bought my 05 in 05 and discovered this site shortly afterwards. Kept the TBA and added the RT for longer rides.

Still here, but several bikes removed from my '03 Caspian Blue TBA. I miss her almost daily while still loving the Tiger. Just need to ride her more often...

Still here, been here since the dark ages. Don't post much these days, however I do read some of the threads. It seems like most of the threads have 3 people posting and usually answering their own posts, ya know talking to themselves. That's always great for a laugh.

However, I do check in here, from time to time.

Still here since 1/05. Member #107. I don't post much but check in almost every night to see what's happening. Same 02 America with 93,000 miles. I sometimes look at new Triumphs but still find no reason to give up the one I have. Just keep it clean, change fluids and replace parts as necessary. Still hoping to take it cross country before my body gives out. I never think about the bike giving out.

Haven’t been on the boards much but still around and still have the 02. She's running great. Nice to see you and some of the others are still out there...
