    I've been riding since 1970 , but haven't ridden for the last 5 years due to a bad accident and pledges to my kids and grandkids.. Now that I'm retired ..I decided to get back to it. I just purchased a new Thruxton TFC #083 So stoked , pick her up tommorow . She replaces an FJR1300

    All well and good, Greywolf, but now you have to go buy something to pull out the grurdge 'n' ride .................. while the TFC sits in the den as the work of art it self-evidently is!

    How about a nice Speed Twin?





    Oh, and welcome, by the way! :D
