    I am happy to meet you all. I currently own 2 Triumphs, a '96 Trophy 900 and a '98 Tiger 885 (non efi).
    I have owned the Trophy for almost 12 years and the Tiger for about 5 years. I live in central Texas
    and enjoy riding the upper hill country near here. I confess that I haven't been riding much at all except
    for an occasional trip to get my Trophy inspected prior to the annual registration ritual we are required
    to perform. I haven't even done that since 2016 because of life issues getting in the way. Trying now to
    get the bikes roadworthy again and return to riding on weekends again. I look forward to chatting with
    everyone in the near future.

    Man after my own heart ..... T300s! Welcome. We need to see some pictures of the bikes, please - well, I do!

    In case you aren't aware, the 885 carburetted Tiger is colloquially known as a "Steamer". It shouldn't take a huge amount of imagination to work out why it's so named!
