    Greetings from New Hampshire!
    It's been 36 years since I last rode a Triumph and that was a 1976 Bonneville basket case that I rehabilitated. I rode it a lot and then sold it to focus on other things in life.

    Fast forward to to 01April21 when my 2021 Street Twin was delivered. I've been sticking to back roads getting acquainted with the throttle, clutch, brakes and steering. It's been fun practicing some of the simple drills focusing on braking and turning. She is definitely a different breed of Triumph from my '76 Bonneville.

    Thanks for this great Triumph resource!
    John

    Welcome from Hampshire in the UK John. Coincidentally, New Hampshire is my favourite state in the US and I can’t wait to get back when this bloody pandemic calms down.

    Nice ride and a good choice :cool:
