I bought my first British bike in over 40 years last month, a 2011 Thruxton 900. I have to say due to the weather and the not inconsiderable amount of mud and crap on the roads around where I live (country bumpkin!). I haven't ridden it any distance yet. So I'm looking forward to warmer drier days to come. The Thruxty is currently keeping my other two bikes, an Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 and a 1979 Honda CB550F company in the garage.
Thank you all for your welcomes, I look forward to contributing more when I've got to know the bike itself better.
Johne. Welcome to the family. Terrific intro and picture. The inmates here in the asylum will ogle that for ages now. Nursey is happy as she gets an easy round dishing out the meds. By the way you will love the Bonnie. Regards Joe.
