    The Speedmaster had been crashed so the front end was gone entirely and the fuel tank was damaged so I got new forks, wheel, etc... Putting it together. It is a 2009. 4k miles.

    Welcome from Alabama. Just got my 1st Triumph. Been on Harleys, Hondas, & Indians for 50+ years. Still have my '19 Wing with DCT but enjoying the Bonneville as it's kinda back-to basics motorcycling.

    You will find that Triumph is one of the best built bikes around. You will also find that they started making Triumphs BEFORE they started making Harleys.

    Here are some pics of works in process. The Speedmaster and the 07 Bonnie.
    The Speedmaster was bought from a guy after it had a crash that totalled the front end and damaged the fuel tank. I bought new parts, forks, clamp tree, fender and tank. In process of putting it back together. It is a 09 with only 4k miles.
    The 07 Bonnie has some carb issues I am addressing to get it to run smoother.
