    Hi all, I'm new on here but not new to Triumphs. I bought my first back in 1971, so I have done the distance! :) I'm on here to find out some background to ' modern stuff'.

    Hi n welcome :) I prefer my older 60-70's Triumphs but the new ones are ok, Su n me both have the 1200 speed twins as our modern bikes and are very pleased with them and they also look like our older bikes in many ways.

    Welcome to the family. Really the only way to learn about The modern Triumphs is go test ride a few. Bearing in mind they are not 1971 bikes and can pull some surprises to a born again biker so take it easy. And then tell us all what you think and we can compare thoughts.
    Joe.

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Redmist. You've come to the right community to learn lots about Triumphs both new and old as there are many very helpful and knowledgable members here. What bikes do you have or have you had over your riding years??
