Beautiful day yesterday here in the upstate, so I went for a scoot. Wonder of wonders saw three Triumphs in Union, SC riding together.
Anyone we know?

This morning driving up 85, there was a HD dresser and what looked like a BA. It was dark and really foggy and these guys were cruising, passed me doing 75. They both cracked the throttle, and BA? sounded way better than the HD.
I was wondering if this was anyone here.... no, I didn't get to ride. whaaaa!!!

Glad you got out. All I think about is riding while my seat is being made. We just got hit with a "storm" here in Jersey and all the cage's forgot how to drive. Funny how a little snow does that.
pain is temporary, pride is forever.

Hi guys. I am new to this. I have to stare at a cathode ray tube at work all day so I usually don't spend much time on line. I bought a 2008 America 6 months ago. I never forgot how my Norton Commando handled 30 years ago.This bike is great. Classic design with modern electrics and motor. I don't miss Lucas electrics or Amals. Thank God I did not go for one of the Jap v Twin clones. Friends don't let friends buy those. They kept talking about dragging floor boards with 1300 Tourer. Not my idea of how to enjoy cornering in the mountains. It it good to be in touch with the more sophistocated riders. Has anyone seen Brittown about the dude in Californis rebuilding Triumphs? Cool flick. I am rained in now. It will turn cold tomorrow here in Georgia. I am off for 2 weeks. I will be riding. I have the big wind screen, light bar, tack, big bags and short sissy bar rack. Agean Blue. It is a shame candy apple red was not available. Its lovely to have passion again. My 13 year younger new bride helps in the passion department also as does viagra.
2008 BA, Ageon Blue, roadster shield, light bar. tach, big bags, square engine guard, short sissy with rack. All Triumph parts. No mods.

I thought it was you, since the bike had hard bags and was hauling a$$. LOL
I just couldn't tell since it was still dark and REALLY foggy. When ya'll passed me I was thinking how crazy these 2 guys were. I got behind you for a moment, just to see if was a BA. You cracked the throttle before I could get close enough, so I could only hear what I though was your bike. Those Scepters are much louder when your in a cage.
