Our younger son, Matt, just bought a new toy. He is stationed at McGuire AFB, NJ, so anyone in that area, keep an eye out for him. Check it out:   He bought it at Freehold Triumph. They tried to talk him into a Yamaha or Honda, but he told them that he was from "A Triumph Family" and all he wanted was a Triumph. Of course it had to be bigger than his dad's bike. He loves it. Hasn't ridden much, yet. Still in training, so kind of busy at work. This one has the tribal graphics on it. So he's pretty jazzed. So are we. AmyLee

As soon as we can go a visit him. Were thinking about going to the Gettysburg,PA Raid, but preferably sooner. Maybe in May or June.

One of these days if I can dig up the scratch I would like to add one of those to my stable.They are unbelieveable. The power is awe inspiring while still handling very nicely.

I didn't notice the engine was black. I like that too.

That's one Mama that didn't raise no fool. You gotta be proud.

Keep an eye out for NJ riding crew listings on here, then let him know. Might be northern NJ, but he can get there in to time on that thing!

Man I am diggin that paint. Good job. My younger brother is stationed at Tinker AFB 3rd. Combat Comm. and...yep looking at a Triumph from the local dealer( Yellow Thruxton). Obviously, you did a good job bringing him up. Here is to thinking of all our Service guys and hoping they stay safe. If my bro transfers to NJ I will try and get him hooked up with your son. Us Triumph folks gotta stick together.;)

AmyLee- Oh, the joys of motherhood!!! I love the front on picture...It looks like a huge, crazy everlasting grin is attempting to break free from the left side of your son's mouth....Tell him just to let it loose already! I think that tribal detailing so works with the power and muscle of the R3. Congratulations!

Cool! You raised a very tasteful and smart man. Give the RocketMatt my congrats and thank him for his service to our country.
