    New member here.
    I was riding a 1979 Yamaha XS750 (triple) when I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters from 1980 - 82.
    Just picked up a 97 Speed Triple that I'm getting back on the road. It's been better than 20 years since I rode so am looking forward to being back in the saddle.

    I'm in North Florida, am 60 years old and am planning some riding adventures!

    Aye, I couldn't help I was born among the heathen, I can only aspire to more noble callings..If it was not so would a Triumph have found me, washed me and led me to the Way?!

    Thanks you guys - Good to hear from you!
    Here's some pics of the bike, torn down for cleaning and inspection.
    And some Florida sunshine - don't mind the chem-trails -

    As for the frame, I bought it that way so don't blame me!

    Welcome aboard Jon, hope you'll enjoy your stay on the ward, have fun on the new steed but take it easy until you're acquainted with each other....not too much of the "sunshine" boasting either, lol.
