Just wanted to say hi. After 30 years of 4 wheel driving I decided to go back to 2 wheels again this year. Never took my test as a youngster (200 Suzuki was good eneough for me in those days!!!) so this summer bit the bullet retrained and got test.

Always wanted a Bonnie as a lad so was going for a T100 but in the end the sheer good looks and bit more power of the Thruxton won me over so now I have an 05 Black Thruxton which I love. Everywhere I go on it I get asked ?? after ?? about it. You never get that with a Japanese stock bike do ya!!

Only mods are Triumph loud pipes which I think sound great, I am going to do the airbox mod when I have time and cash.

Stupidly have managed to slide off when manouvering on a very muddy back lane. Note to self to be more careful when near slippery stuff in future.

Anyway if there are any like minded owners around the NW of England who maybe want to hitch up for occasional outings then post me.

Can't wait for a bit of warmer and drier weather :) :) :)
