    Hi everyone. Last Friday I tested both a Bobber and a Thruxton R. Big mistake and unfair towards the Bobber. Loving the looks of the Bobber, I fell in love with the ride on the Thruxton R. Wow. I ordered it on the spot with a few (...) extra bits and bobs. Delivery mid July. Can't wait.

    Recent bike history: sold a customized 1983 Honda CB750 a few weeks back and still have and ride a BMW K1600GT (which is just bloody spectecular). New to Triumphs.

    Hope to meet likeminded people here. Am Dutch, live near Rotterdam/Gouda.

    Cheers. It's at the dealer's so I've touched it already. But it's still stock (nice though) and I'm still figuring out how to upload photo's to the forum.

    Being "not brave" at the right moment probably saves lives .
    Luckily you live in N. Ireland so you hardly ever see a spot of rain.
