    Good afternoon all as the title says I am new to the forum, my name is Mark and I am from North Wales, I have been riding motorcycles for the past 35+ years and have had all sorts of machines in thus time:).
    I have recently traded in my Moto Guzzi 1200 sport for a new Triumph Thunderbird Storm, I first test rode a storm last year and new then I wanted one.
    I loved the Guzzi and all its weird quirkiness but the riding position was getting the better of me and giving me shoulder and neck problems ( old shoulder injury).
    I purchased the Storm and added a quick release screen and sissy bar as the wife comes out with me a lot. The bike so far so good, in fact I LOVE it :cool:. it is so comfortable to ride and for a cruiser it handles like a dream, I think I have made a great choice and look forward to being part of your group on here.

    Welcome to the forum Mark
    Lovely biking roads down your neck of the woods spoilt with too many speed cameras.

    Hi Mark
    New to this site myself joined a couple of days ago. I test road a storm myself last year rode down to York on a first generation fazer thou and had it out for about an hour and a half riding with a mate on a rocket 3
    Knew I wanted a cruiser after that
    Couldn't stretch my dosh for the storm but did a deal on an 09 speedmaster from Carlisle triumph and I'm loving it
    Enjoy your storm mate and hope you enjoy the forum as I do
    Loads of useful information on here

    Welcome in Mark. Great bike. A few couples at our club wax lyrical about them.
