Triumph is the only brand of street bike I've ever owned since I was 16, I'm 56 now. I've always owned one, used 61 Bonnie, used 63 Bonnie, new 76 Bonnie , new 03 America, new 04 Thruxton. Still have the 76, America and Thruxton. Am waiting for the rumored water cooled twin If it sucks I'm thinking Rocket.

Wish I'd never got rid of the 61 and 63. Never sale a Triumph or a gun!
