Hello everyone. I'm just getting ready to buy a bike (or two) I'm 65 and almost retired. I'll be looking for a Thunderbird 900 as perfect and as new as possible (2004 was the last year) or a Bonneville 865 alloy wheels model around 2013 same condition requirements apply. I have a pics of what I'm looking for and will post them when I'm ready to buy. I've looked around the dealers etc but I thought my best option would be to go to where Triumphs are loved and looked after with a passion. I enquired at the Triumph Owners Club but they never replied. I'm not in a rush as my lump sum won't arrive for a month or so. I'm a mechanic by trade and have also worked as a plumber. I have had my own business as well. In neither of those fields. I live near Scunthorpe Lincolnshire and have really missed my bikes for the last 14yrs. I had to sell them as the house I moved to didn't have anywhere for them and no one had room either. That's changed now in that my son has room for one and I hope to move within 12 months so it will then be with me. I've had bikes on and off since I was about 14 riding off road. It just gets in ya and you never stop loving it. Soooooooo . . . when that lovely cheque arrives I'll be posting a wanted for the above. Nice to meet you all
I've owned a Bonneville 865 SE for six years, ridden it as far as Spain, so when the time comes feel free to PM me for a rider's eye view, as it were
