    Hello, allow me to introduce myself, I'm new to this forum, but a 50-plus year veteran of motorcycling. I'm located in Colorado, and I do have mixed areas of focus about what and where I ride. I have been riding on the street since I first started, and began riding off-road not long afterwards. I am still riding occasional vintage motocross, some trail riding, and the occasional daytime "lunch ride" with my wife on the street.
    My current stable includes a 2023 T120 Bonneville, a 1967 T120R Bonneville, and a 1968 T100C which has been converted into scrambles use for racing. I also have a few BSA's, as well as a Norton Commando, and other non-Brit bikes.
    I am looking forward to conversations with like-minded individuals about bikes & riding. Thank you!

    Blessed beyond my wildest dreams to have a wife who allowed me to displaced an Audi for garage space for the Triumphs!

    That's quite the stable of bikes!! It must be hard to choose which to ride when time and conditions allow! I envy you the naked bikes; my two are full faring bikes (Sprint GT and Trophy SE), so I need to remove the plastics every time I want to do anything other than change the oil!

    Lovely part of the world in which you live! I've spent a fair amount of time visiting family north of Denver. I've even brought the Trophy SE and Sprint GT with me on visits (note the cover photo of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park). The Peak to Peak ride down to Golden was great, too. Not much intentional off-road riding for my two bikes, although I have found myself inadvertently on way too many dirt and gravel roads to count in the Great Smokies and Shenandoah mountains!

    If my relatives are right, you have warm weather there now. A big change from the 10-18" of snow in progress here in NJ!
