    Left it a bit late, but delighted to have passed all of the tests and finally got a dream bike - Thunderbird 1600. Two years old, 2000 miles and in fantastic condition!! Need to now learn how to ride and make the most of my new toy. I want to access local ride outs and potential clubs so I can meet like minded people and start to learn....

    Welcome in, cracking bike, had one as a loaner and was very impressed with it. Try a local Triumph owners club (TOMCC) for starters if you’re not too picky then go on from there!
    Oh and pics always keeps the illiterates amongst us happy!!

    Nice! Bit to big for me though. Live near Basildon if you ever want a ride out let me know. It'll only take me 20 mins to get to Chelmsford. Dry weather pls
