    Hi All

    I'm a late forties bloke from Yorkshire and work frontline for the Ambulance Service. A change of family dynamics (adopting 2 kids) led to a change in my riding habits and opportunities so I have ditched the BMW GS and gone for a Bonneville Street Twin with Scrambler Pack which arrived with me on Thursday. Looking at it makes me smile, but I have just had a blast around the block and I simply can't stop grinning.

    I'm looking forward many years of Triumph ownership

    Cheers

    Tony

    Welcome!:)
    Be aware that grinning inanely is not necessarily a good look!:grinning::eek:
    However, Nursey can fast track you into your own room with nice soft walls and supply you with the type of meds that you can only dream of, if you think that would be helpful.:cool:
    Enjoy the madness herein!:confused:

    Welcome to the forum Tony.
    Great choice of bike, keep it sprayed up with Scottoiler FS365 or similar if you are using it through the winter.
    Massive respect for the Ambulance crews, keep up the good work.
