    OK, a FNG here but a long time Triumph rider. Started in the mid '60's with a Triumph Tiger Cub. Lucas electrics and Whitworth wrenches. That built character. Those days are over now, thank God.

    Hello Buzzard and welcome to the forum :)

    Similar to myself started riding on the road in 1966 and on a Tiger Cub also.

    Thanks Tiglet. '66 was my year too. The best thing about the Cub was riding sideways in the dirt. That taught me a lot. And helped me survive on the street. Saved my butt a number of times.

    I now have a strange mental image of a delinquent buzzard riding a Tiger Cub at speed:cool: - sideways.:eek: WEIRD!!:confused:
    Makes Steve McQueen jumping his bike over a barbed wire fence look positively unremarkable: unamused:.
    Ah well, not to worry. Nursey is due soon with my meds:yum. I think I need 'em!:D

    No Steve. I was not a delinquent until I rode my 305 Yamaha, sans muffler, through the first floor hallway of my high school during the senior class play.

    Then there was the golf course incident where I did play Steve McQueen. That is another story.
