    HI everyone. Yesterday I hopped off my beautiful, 95 Harley Softail and went for a test drive on my new to me ‘04 T100. Its hard to imagine two more different rides. We did an even title swap and here I am. I’ve put 70 miles on it since then and can’t wait for more.

    Welcome! I did the same. I am sorry I waited so long to try something different. Had Harley's since '74. Bought a used '12 America and I love this bike.

    Mine is a year younger and an 865. Either way, if you yearn for a bit more torque about 15% more is easily unlocked by opening up the inlet and exhaust. Look here:

    Welcome to the family. We need photos of both bikes. I would say good choice of bike as I am like most of the inmates here in the asylum Biased towards my beloved Triumphs. But Harley is king and I would never dismiss owning another. I loved the wide glides.
    Regards & Ride Free
    Joe.

    Welcome to a terrific forum, T100rider! Congrats on your new-to-you Triumph and welcome to the wonderful world of Triumphs, too. I have a Speed Triple and a two Harleys and love 'em all. Enjoy that T100! :)

    Hi T100rider and welcome to the forum :cool: cool pix. I like the fishtail cans in your glide, and the electric blue on your Bonneville. Interested in how you find the bar height as seats both looked comfortably

    Thanks! The HD is a stripped down ‘05 Heritage Softail, totally stock but for seat and bags. Was comfortable to sit but my old hip didn’t like the forward controls. Bonnie is new to me but real comfortable so far.
