    Greetings all. My name is Mel from West Orange, NJ USA. Just sold my Honda ST1300 and am about to purchase a new or newer Bonneville T120. I hope to learn a lot from the group and potentially find some new riding buddies! Take care.

    You got that right. My plan is to get out on the weekends and maybe ride back and forth to work as it's about 2-3 miles from home. At least until I can get some big trips in.

    Welcome to the Triumph family from a South Jersey boy.

    I had my picture up. But I was told to take it down. It was scaring the women folk.

    Greetings Mel. I had an ex from NJ. Pre-marriage days of course.
    Perhaps one of the the most beautiful souls I have ever met.
