I had some interest in dirt bikes and street bikes throughout the years (limited experiences riding them) but performance and sports cars was my passion so that occupied my time and money. Was pretty close to getting a SV650 when I was 18 (24 now). I had always wanted a Datsun 240Z and got a beautiful one from Texas in 2005. Spent much time, money, and work on it, and greaty enjoyed but towards the last months of owning it I never could see myself being completely satisfied. In the back of my mind I thought of maybe getting a bike so I could cruise along side my dad. Being a college student, having both was not an option. In fall of 2006 I got interested in the older Triumphs and begun to do some research, just poking my nose around. I came across some pics of the Thruxton and I was hooked! At the time I couldn't believe I was even contemplating selling my dream car which I figured I'd own for the rest of my life, but I did it, sold the car quickly and bought myself a Thruxton that was listed on Craigslist. I must say that motorcycles are much more fun than sports cars!
So the Thruxton is my first bike. The only other street bike I road was a gixxer 600 when I was 18, was like a 10min ride.
