    Hi all, newbie here from just north of Sydney, Australia. Recently picked up a Thunderbird Commander, 2014 model with just 2400km on the clock, it's been in storage for over four years. Now serviced and cleaned back to almost showroom condition, I picked up a bargain for sure. Looking forward to finding out more about the marque. My other bike is a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, which is a great bike but like a toy compared to Lady Penelope.

    Welcome to the family. Great picture and great great intro. The inmates here in the asylum love pictures of bikes.

    Howdy, I've been to OZ 6 times for a total of about 6 months. My favorite city is Melbourne; Sydney is just too big. Sounds like you've got a fabulous new bike. Enjoy mate and be safe!

    Greetings, Marsdo, and welcome to the forum. What a great-looking bike. And I LOVE her name. :heart: Looking forward to seeing more photos of Lady Penelope and the Interceptor, too.
