    Hi Guys,
    New to Triumph and this forum. Just picked up a 95 T-bird that has been sitting for years in a carport, has about 17k miles on it. This is my first Triumph after many years of Guzzis, beemers and you name it, just not british. I appreciate all the knowledge you guys post on here, I will certainly be needing all of it. Thanks for the great website.

    Welcome to the forum, Russ, and to the wonderful world of Triumphs! Thanks for sharing the photo of your T-bird find. Looks like she will now get some loving and life again.

    I've some friends in Austin and a nephew who graduated from UT. My hubby and I were in Austin for the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show and MotoGP a couple of years ago. Happy you're here!

    Nice looking Triumph, Russ. A bit of TLC and it should be a real looker in the Texas sunshine.

    Nice looking bike there, Russ! I shipped my Triumph from my friend in Austin, TX incidentally, so Austin has one less Triumph now. I hope you get that running well. Still working on my resurrection.

    Welcome, and congrats with your new bike. They are great, and there is a handful of us here who owns one. Keep the battery fully charged and the sprag clutch will thank you. Keep it original and I will thank you.
