Passed my test last Friday and got my Triumph out of the garage for the first time since I bought it a month ago, did a 90 mile ride out, loved it, was like a duck to water,  I now know what I've been missing for the last 40 years

Congratulations and welcome to a great board with many clever minds. Be sure to post a pic of your ride so we can all oooh and aahhh over her. I'm sure the locals, across the pond, will fill you in on Dent, etc... Enjoy the ride!!

Welcome Paul. There is another member on here from Hayle, think he usually does the St Ives run on a Tues evening (think I got the right night!).
Well done on passing your test.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!! This a great little "family" here.
Great advice, humor, support and of course some good natured ribbing.
Glad to see you chose "out of the box"...that's where you find the best people.
