    Hey all,
    Just a quick intro...I'm Daniel and am new to the Triumph community. I have owned many, many motorcycles from Ducati, Buell and every big Japanese company but this is my first Triumph. I must say that this bike has more of a soul than quite possibly any other motorcycle I've ever had to privilege to ride. I am in love. I ride in New Hampshire and of course, attend the Laconia bike week every year. See you there. Ride safe.

    Those photos could well be original Triumph posters to sell that bike, lovely.
    I didn't realise how beautiful the Street Cup is!

    I have always said Triumph bikes feel like they have been built by hand, and any others just feel built in a factory. So I totally agree with you about them having soul

    Glad to have you with us Dan/Celticages and enjoy the forum, plenty of mad people here with advice and opinions. Don't be surprised if any thread you start is quickly derailed within the first six posts, completely normal :)

    Thank you very much Red. I appreciate the nice words and the welcome. It was a lovely day riding over the Kancagamus Highway in Northern NH and these pictures came out awesome. Also, I know I'm not the only one who thinks these bikes are beautiful...and I know many will understand when I say that sometimes I like to go just look at my bike, sit on her and just take it all in. I am a believer. Oh and I like mad people...they are my tribe. :laughing:

    In that case welcome to our Tribe :cool: Plenty of like minded mental folk on here, in fact that many Nursey has had to take on help to dish out the meds :D, As said great pictures and we didnt have to ask for them which means more browney points for you(extra meds) fantastic looking bike you got there and dont hesitate to join in Celticage

    "Like minded mental folk" haha...could be a band name. Thank you for the welcome...and the meds. But I don't need them it's everyone else who's mad...I'm perfectly not...mad. Did someone say brownies?

    Just Googled "Kancagamus Highway" and found it in the White Mountain National Forest
    Wow, that looks like a lovely part of the world you lucky bugger :p

    Looks like a fine part of the world to enjoy a good ride.

    I hope to see more photos, closest I have here is the Chiltern Hills which I can't really complain about

    It is beautiful and yes I live in the White Mountains. I'm looking out my window at them as we "speak". I Googled Chiltern Hills as well and I must say, although not mountains so to speak, it is a lush green, beautiful part of the world. I would very much like to hike the countryside. So you, sir, are lucky as well.
