    Hi all!
    I'm Johnny from Stamford in Lincolnshire where they have the Burghley Horse Trials (apparently) and I've just joined the forum.
    I recently, after a 40 year wait caused by life, mortgages, and guitars, became the proud owner of a 1983 T140E Bonneville. It had been laid up for 15 years before I bought it so there's some throat-clearing and replacement of perishables going on but it's basically bloody gorgeous. You fine folk can expect possibly idiot questions from me in due course as I delve deeper into the recesses of the thing.... .. IMG_20181221_120744787.jpg

    That's a real beauty. Looks pretty original to me. There is no such thing here as idiot questions. Especially when you are talking Triumph. And believe there are some very clever peeps here. They are now your Family and will assist you every way they can.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.
    Joe.
