Thanks, I don't know how I missed that (Doh!)......but now after looking through most of the posts I'm now reluctant to buy a Thunderbird.
I'm alright at replacing tires, chains, oil changes, and a few other minor maintenance items, but with the closest Triumph service 300 miles to the north of me, and the T-Bird a discontinued model, I'm going to pass on this beautiful looking motorcycle.
If I was still living in a larger urban area with a lot of MC resources I would go for one, but I'm in 'the sticks' and mostly on my own if things go screwy. My town used to have a Triumph dealership, but it's been gone for about five years now, and as far as I can tell, there's not much hope of one in the forseeable future.
I'm a bit disappointed really.....But! I suppose I'll try to console myself with a nice, 'zippy' ZRX1200 Kawasaki or a frugal-yet-fun 650 V-Strom, my 2nd and 3rd choices after the T-Bird.
Thanks to all for the input and information offered...if by some chance I still find myself with a Triumph machine, I'll come back and join the party.
