    Hi all, well just to say hello, have bought my first triumph collect it on Sat 22 (the wait is going to be painful).

    Have been riding for over (well let's just say a bloody long time) but never had a British bike, well finally moving away from my BMW R1200RT, great bikes nothing wrong with them, I've had 2, but never wanted a Harley, yet I like the cruisers.

    So what have I bought, a blooming monster..... Thunderbird LT 2014 reg with only 3000 miles on it, it's not even run in!

    Will post some pics as soon as I have it.

    Quick question... The only negative I have is that the inner bags are missing, anyone know where I can get some?

    Try World of Triumph for liners.

    Thanks for the welcome, have sourced the saddle bag liners too.
    Just need to get a sissybar carrier next, seems the original one is now obsolete, (was £100) and the official Triumph new one is £140!! Might look for a good alternative if one exists at a slightly cheaper price. (And I though BMW were the only ones who did this sort of trick on accessories)?
