New guy says hi!

Hello all.
My name is Paul, i'm based in the U.K and i have placed an order for a Black, ABS T'Bird this very morning!

Had a great demo ride today, despite foul weather and couldn't resist the lure of a new bike. I have never had a cruiser - so i was very surprised to find myself signing the dotted line.

I enjoyed every rain soaked moment on the bike - so fine weather should see me loving it.

Got to wait until April next year for it, but that's no real problem, as the weather has turned now.

All the best to all.

Hi Paul - welcome!
But more to the point - WELL DONE SIR! Especially with the choice of colour

*slightly covers mouth to whisper*
Far too many blues in this place


So - I suppose you'll be busy over the winter months ordering accessories for a bike that's not even in the garage! Well that's what I've been doing

Take care and have fun.

Hello Paul,

Got my black abs beginning of September, done just over 700 miles so far & it just gets better everytime I go out , still waiting for a few accessories (panniers, fog lights, longhaul seats & sissy bar / carrier) , heated grips, summer screen & footboards fitted already, bet you can't wait 'til next April.

Chris

Hi Paul. Good move....seems people are signing on the dotted line for the Tbird in droves lately. I thought it was selling well before, but it seems like in the last few days or week we've been seeing new members left and right. And considering the foums probably represents a tiny fraction of all owners, there must be a lot of birds out there already. I think this bike may end up being triumph's biggest seller. congrats, wise move.

Welcome Paul, you have joined a great group of riders and you now have a great bike to go with it. Anything you want or need to know about will be found here. However, we all know the Blue/White one runs the best. Just look at it, like a Shelby hot rod!

Welcome to the growing community of proud T-Bird owners Paul. You'll find a lot of useful (and some down right unuseful ) information here!

New TBird

Welcome to the ranks... I'm sure you will be anxiously anticipating next April so you can get out on your own shiny new "black" TBird! You're gonna love it!

(P.S. Great color choice by the way... )

Yeah, I agree.... if Blue/White isn't available, or the wait for one is too long, black i the right choice..

No, i disagree with you on this. If blue/white is not available, one should then commit suicide.
