    Sooo, after nigh on 4 decades with a GS Beemer of one kind or another in the garage, I have bought a new RP900. Delivered last week, I am about to put the first few miles on it this afternoon. Wish me well....I could be some time.

    PS . .I already have a few questions lined up for you guys. (TIA !!)

    Forgive me if I’m being an idiot, but what’s an RP900?

    Welcome to the world of Triumph. There is old stuff, new stuff, stock stuff, modified stuff. All Triumph :heart:. This is my second go-round on this site. I used to have another username. Mostly U.S. and U.K. people on here, but I have seen postings from all over the English speaking world and sometimes beyond. Again--welcome from Southern California, U.S.A. ...J.D.

    Whoops, in 40+ years of bike ownership I have never used a torque wrench for handlebar clamps or levers :scream:
