Hello Triumph motorcyclists!
May I introduce myself to you. My name is Korja, I was born in Northern Russia and have lived in Germany for the past 15 years now. In May this year I have bought myself a Triumph America and browse around in the internet for various forums and look for other people who are interested in the Triumph America.
I hope that my postings will positively contribute to this forum.
Wishing all bikers a clear view onto the road!
At the end of all excitement there is a Triumph!
Rgds, Korja

Welcome, you'll find almost any answers you need to questions about the America. If you enjoy other discussions we have those too. The only thing we all seem to agree on is that the America is the best bike in the world (OK, the Speedmaster too  )
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Well like I said waaaayy back at the begining of this thread...
Welcome...but most of us are a little nuts in the head...
nothing like instant proof...
it only took 5 more posts...
and incase you missed it Dwight uses CAPS unlike any other ...he's not using them to "yell" as most think (well not usually) but rather to stress the...word...
fill in your own joke...........now!

Welcome Korja,
Good to have another member from Europe on board. It's a pity you missed our Euro rally (held in Asendorf - north of Hannover) a few weeks ago.
If you need any info on your bike, this site is great and we have some excellent gurus on here.
For anything else like cigarettes, Havana cigars, booze, handguns, machine guns or nuclear weapons etc., contact me - .
Enjoy!
Oh I almost forgot, you also have the best colour. As Greybeard, one of our Gurus on here says, there is a reason they call it "jet" black.

Welcome Korja, Don't be put off by the resident loons (every zoo needs a few) most of the critters here are friendly, or at least harmless . BTW for those who don't know, it's HOLA. The "H" is silent.

Not to worry, the UK contingent probably rode past his house a few times on our "extended" route to the rally!
