    Hello all!

    I'm picking up my first Triumph (new 2021 Tiger 850 Sport) on Saturday AM. I got quite a deal with the price dropped to $10,500 USD - hard to beat!

    I'm a 51 year old RN, husband, father of 3 daughters and grandpa to 2 grandsons. I have been riding since 2005. Prior bikes were Yamaha V-Star Silverado (650), Suzuki SV650, and the bike I'm trading in is a 2014 Kawasaki Versys 650. Overall, I've logged around 60,000 miles in both US and Canada.

    My ancestry is almost entirely UK (Sheffield), so owning a Triumph has always been an interest to me. Looking forward to it!

    Ride safe!

    Welcome to the family. Yes a great intro. Feels like i know you already. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show the steed of to the inmates when you get it and stop playing and grinning of course. Even a couple of the others to get you in practice.
    Joe.

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. Sheffield is still there, I can vouch for that having been there today. :yum

    Thanks, Octoberon! My great and great great grandfathers were silversmiths there before immigrating to the U.S. in the 1800s to bring their craft to CT.

    Just put your pictures on your computer then edit and resize. As for the payment perhaps contact the Admin or someone in that department see if they can help. I do hope they sort it soon. If i come to renew my contract and find it is not accepting then i will not be hanging around as i hate all this constant ads.
    Joe.

    Hi Joe, just download an ad blocker and no more ads. And they are free. If you want to, PM me and I will send you the details mate :)
