hi new member 37 years a biker (currently riding my winter wheels 500 cc twist and go) looking to get my 1st Triumph either a thunderbird storm or speedmaster ,in the spring .any advice greatly appreciated Tony
lol theres one guy on here who says to buy a Beemer. ignore him BUT theres a few more of us who say, Welcome , and either choice is a good un. Me I got an oldie Sprint 900 but its a cross I bear well,lol. Great bikes and a great forum here, just ask away.................. and ffs we need pics
Welcome. Both excellent bikes, all depends on what you find and at the right price. I would have had either Tbird or America, just the fact an America came up with all the goodies, low mileage and the right price. Whichever you go for, you'll love, both great bikes. Whatever anyone else says, blue ones are the best
Hi welcome to the forum,Storm or Speedmaster?..if you want more grunt than a shed load of pigs get the Storm, if not get the Speedmaster,both good bikes depends what your used to i guess PS If you decide on the Storm you have to get it in the best colour...BLACK
It's got to be black or Matt silver,the only problem I can see with the thunderbird is the side stand as I'm not the tallest at 5,5,I've had a goldwing in the past so weight shouldn't be a problem Tony
Hi Tony welcome in, I have a 2011 Tbird and I'm your height although I claim 5' 6" the side stand is challenging at first but gets easier as you learn to slide your butt slightly worth mentioning I have the long haul seat which is very comfortable but also have the single riders seat which sits you a little lower down making side stand easier, you can also fit lower shocks if you want to lower the bike slightly believe there 12.5" know you would need to check on that. PS One of our members on here has a beautiful speedmaster for sale if your interested see here - If interested speak to Dozers Dad on this Forum
Ahem 5' 6" I said I admit to, don't make me shorter FFS, Anyway good things come in little packages, worse thing is my bloody width is catching up with my height (or lack of it . And yes I'm ready for the onslaught, even if its undeserved
Indupitably, Blue and Orange are easily the best coloured motorbikes. Never been in doubt, ever. And when combined, make THE greatest race livery EVER!!!
Believe it or not - This WAS my first car I ever bought !!!! This car in the picture, took me 9 years to restore to the best in the UK, at the time. I think this may have had started with the 'Orange' thing !!!
was it that that gave you the BUG then ?? a guy down the pub at that time sold his kettle and got one of them coz his new g/f was too scared of the bike
