    Well i have finally done it .after 30+ years of motorcycling I have finally got my self a triumph.. 1998 Thunderbird with all the bits I want. Aftermarket silencers, rear rack for rallies, screen for the longer journeys, full service history and pretty much immaculate..It arrives Saturday.. cant wait, sold the Vmax 10 days ago so looking forward to being back on the road..
