Welcome. The bikes and this site are very addictive. I had a Triumph many years back then Japanese bikes. I was astounded how great it was to be back on a Triumph when I got my America in 05.

I came over from a Japanese brand and I've become addicted to the Triumph. Better start putting away some cash because you'll want to add some bling; and, welcome aboard.

That's what I'm doing...switching from Kawasaki to Triumph. However, I did own 2 Triumphs in the 80s.

welcome to the forum road470, give us a report on your '08, that would be fuel-injected over "yonder", is it not??? we do not have in states yet, next year they say.
some people are like slinkies, they serve no purpose, but, they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Hmmmm, New Zealand. One of the few places I want to visit outside of the U.S. There and Australia.
I bought my 07 America about six months ago. Moved from a 03 Honda Shadow 600. Nice bike, but no where close to the Triumph. Have a great new year, ride safe and have fun.
