    Hello,

    Newbie to the forum and this coming Wednesday will be a new Triumph rider! Getting a new 2022 T100 (Red/White). My most recent bike was a 2016 BMW F800GT. Nice in some ways but was ready to get back to a naked bike (had a 2003 Honda CB750 Nighthawk at one time). I was able to ride a T100 last September at an outdoor bike show. It instantly put a smile on my face! The torque was awesome and a found the 5 speed gear box adequate. 90% of my riding is back roads.

    I am getting a center stand and heated grips installed by the dealer. Looking forward to getting out and riding in this nice fall weather. I live just west of Baltimore, Maryland USA.

    Also looking forward to interfacing with other Triumph riders via this forum.

    Cheers!

    Seedman

    Wessa,

    Thanks for the welcome! Picked the bike up yesterday and again, instantly put a smile on my face! We're having some nice fall weather here and I am going to be out doing some running-in in miles.

    Cheers!

    Got another ride in yesterday. This may be the most comfortable motorcycle I have ever ridden! The egos are perfect and the seat is great, maybe a tad firm but will break in. The low down engine torque is incredible and is what really got my attention on that test ride last year. Starting to cool down here is Maryland/ USA but still enough riding whether ahead.

    Cheers to all!
