    Hello: I'm a recent Triumph rider. Recently purchased a Triumph Bonneville t120. Switched from riding a Harley (Roadking) to a lighter bike. I'm a senior (in my 80's) and want to continue to 2 wheel. Road my first English bike in the late 50's and wanted to finish my riding on the bike a started with.
    Still getting the feel of my new baby, and look forward to more great years riding.
    Most likely will be asking many questions about Triumph in the future.

    Greetings from a fellow Yank just up the pike in New Jersey. I get down to Key West twice a year for a week at the beginning of winter then again in late winter. My daughter's band is based up here around Philly, but they play at Sloppy Joe's those weeks and we go down to relax and see her. Love it down there. It's like someone turned the country on its end, shook it and all the nuts accumulated at the Southernmost point.

    Welcome.
    I had a Road King and even imported it back here when i moved back home. Could ride it for weeks with a mustang seat on it. Bought a Speedmaster and doing the same.. though
    1. it only takes a day to ride top to tail of GB (a full day, ok a couple. too many speed cameras on the A9 and too many rubber-neckers and caravans on the A30) and
    2. still waiting for mustang to make a classic solo seat for it.
    lol
