Hello out there!

I've been riding bikes since I was a kid, although I took a break for many years to spend time with some other interests (scuba diving, skydiving). I've been lusting after a Triumph since they came out with the new cruisers in '01(?). Well, Friday my dream came true and I brought home a bone stock '05 America in green and silver with 2500 miles. I put about 30 miles on it on Saturday (first nice day in who knows how long) and What a bike!!

I figured that since I've been lurking here for years and I finally can join the brotherhood of owners I would post to say howdy! I've enjoyed this site for many years and I am looking forward to many more.

My first upgrades will be the freak airbox removal, air injection removal, new pipes (not sure which yet), oil temp and pressure gauges, tailblazer and either HID or xenon headlamp upgrade. I hope to have this baby at least breathing better by the end of this week.

So, I had some questions... what oil should I run and green and silver is the fastest, right?

I'll try to post some pics if the sun ever comes out again
