went out and bought my first motorcycle last weekend: 07 thruxton, red, 11 miles, air box elimination, upgraded pipes, fly screen, removed the rear fender and replaced the light tree.

this is my first motorcycle at the age of 33 and it should be ready this weekend, i am busting with anticipation.

Congratulations, and welcome to the world of endorphin-stimulating, smile-inducing, compliment-eliciting Triumph riding. Have fun.

Congrats!!! I did the same thing. Thinking about that bike brings a sh*t-eating-grin to my face! Who said, "you couldn't put a price on happiness." I bought it for under 6k. What a deal!

Welcome!

sweet bike.

i, too, got my first bike at 33 (beginning of last summer). i couldn't afford the $7K. . . i *could* however find a bonnie black in great shape with 1700 miles for $4500 that already had clubman bars, the AI yanked, boots fitted, d&d's installed/rejetted. now i'm slowly cafe-ing it.

nice choice of a ride. . . i highly recommend the MSF course--you'll feel much more confident at the helm. enjoy the summer!

Congrats! My Thruxton was my first bike, at 35. My only regret is not buing a bike years ago!
