Rode dirt motorcycles in High school, I and most of my friends would dream of having at Norton 750 Commando, some day. Rode a Honda 175 when I was stationed in Korea, Honda CB-500T, while stationed in San Bernardino, CA, 1979. Had not ridden since then. I explored Norton but it's a crotch rocket, HD no way, looked at Honda no thanks. The explored Triumph, first looked at retro line but too much like the motorcycles I rode in the 70's. Then while exploring the Triumph web site looked at TBA, was in right price range. Went to dealer three weeks later had TBA in driveway. Although I was very concerned having not ridden for 27 years. But after driving up and down our dead end street, getting use to tight turns, took her out on the open road. Now 16 months later 18,000 miles, can’t ride enough, but somewhat depressed the riding season will end sometime in November, here in Connecticut.
