    Afternoon all!

    I just picked up my first Triumph on Monday, a 2014 America in red. Owned by an elderly gentleman that hardly rode it, it has 6700 miles on it.

    I've wanted a Triumph for years, after having owned several sport bikes and a gold wing. I'm in my mid 30's now and I just want to cruise back and forth to work, and around the curvy back roads of the Reno area. I work overnight so it's still a tad cold in the mornings to ride home from work, but next week it should warm up enough that I'm on this baby every work day(and likely on my weekends too!)

    Thank you everyone!! Sorry about the delay in replying to you all, I work 12 hour shifts overnight so I’ve been tired! Here’s a photo of the beauty herself.
