    Just wanted to do the usual hello and check in being new to the forum! Located in Rhode Island, I have my first Triumph on my hands and it is a project. I haven't ridden in a couple of years since I had to trade my Harley Davidson for a truck. Friend of mine knew I wanted to get back on the road and had a 2000 Sprint RS sitting unused and needing tlc, the deal....if you getting running and like it, just pay me what I have into it (about 500 dollars). Bike has 30k miles on it and is great shape for a 20 year old machine. It allegedly has a scored head. A replacement head and cams already on hand, I will start the work as soon as possible. Hopefully it is not more than I can handle lol. But that is why I am here :)
