Count me in !!!

Hello,

Just purchased a slightly used 2010 Tbird. The Blue bike that OKC triple talked about in Okc about three weeks ago now resides in my garage. The previous owner had to sell it back to the dealer due to financial hard times. His loss is my gain. I hate it for him but I appreciate the deal I got on the bike. It had right at 1100 miles on the day I took possession of it a couple of weeks ago. I actually had seen the ad on craig's list and sent an email. I found out it was the dealership selling the bike and found out the circumstances behind the sale. Then when I saw triple's post I thought maybe it was destiny for me to make the trip to make the purchase... Anyway, I would just like to let you guys know that I have been looking at Triumph bikes for several months and you folks influenced my decision. I have been totally impressed with the positive vibes that all of you forum regulars put out to us newbies in the crowd. My decision to go the Triumph way was greatly influenced by the opinions you guys have expressed since the bikes were released to the U.S.

I look forward to joining your group and I wish all of you guys the best in the future..Thanks again

PS..I have already held a couple of spur of the moment Triumph mini seminars on the sidewalk in front of my office when I rode the bike up to the office last weekend. Amazing how much attention these bikes receive, even in a small Oklahoma town. (The Tradition Continues)

Welcome ! Yeah, here is an awful lot of positive vibes happening here, but you have one now so you know why. Glad we helped you decide to give that poor orphan a new loving home. My fav color too

Welcome Midlife Rider! You've got a great bike; enjoy! I was impressed with the T-Bird at my local Triumph dealer in Washington State (it's gone now) when I went to pick up my America (which I really love!).

I was wondering were it went, it moved faster than I anticipated. Glad you picked it up Midlife, It's good to know that someone who frequents this board purchased that beautiful Bird.

So what small town are you from, might happen upon you some time.

Thanks for all the kind posts from the Triumph veterans....

To triple, I live in Ardmore. I've been talking with the Performance guys for a couple of months.I saw someone (maybe you) on a blue/white on the Saturday I picked up the bike... That was a couple of weeks ago.....

Thanks again
