    Hi, just a brief intro of a new forum member.
    Earlier this year bought my first Triumph, a T100 2008 with less than 5000 miles on it, showroom condition.
    It’s a EFI so considered that the safest bet, also looking at the fuel and ethanol issues you hear lots about.
    It’s proven to be fun, even though i did not use it that much this summer.
    it is my re-entry on a motorcycle after 30 years, so took a bit of getting used to again, coming from Yamaha (xs400 and xz550) and also a Honda CB550F (already then a classic being from 1976).

    My other hobby is working on Triumph TR classic cars, so that’s why I thought buying a Triumph retro bike would be a nice match.

    Meanwhile have been working on adding small stuff like a bags and a windscreen.
    Will post a technical question on replacing the standard exhaust with a TOR version, seems to give some trouble with MIL….

    so far so good,
    Take care, stay safe and drive safely.
    Ben
