Triumph took my 02 Thunderbird back and replaced it with an 04 Thunderbird Sport!

I am sad on one hand to see my first ever bike be taken away but I am very pleased Triumph took care of me and replaced what was a lemon motorcycle.

I will have pics tomorrow, I got home in the dark tonight.

Trust me Denny, if I could wave a magic wand and have my Tbird just work and me not worry about it I would go back to that bike. It was my first after all .

Congrats Tom! At least get it out of the break in before you start "cutting and pasting" ;-)

You can bring it down to South Carolina for a proper christening....

Terriffic! You deserve the new bike for what you went thru. You never forget the "first ones", but hopefully this will be a much better bike for you.
