Hi all. I just bought my first bike! Its a 97 thunderbird, and I think I am the happiest fellow in the world. The bike isn't here yet but should be in a few days. I am so excited that I found a place to meet and talk about these wonderful machines. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Welcome to the Triumph family.

You will find great information and people that are willing to share it on this forum.

Don't forget to look over the Member Maintained Phot Albums, and maybe post your own photos.

Welcome. Always room for more in the Trumpet family. Post a pic when you get your new ride. This is a good site with good members who have a lot of knowledge to help you out in a pinch.

God bless,

Monte

Another "new" to Triumph rider and RAT member! (and I'm from Michigan too Sadaddy)
Just bought a 1999 Adventurer with 6,300 miles off Ebay (during an impulsive moment!). I will be planning the 5.5 hr trip to Indiana to pick it up May 6th.
I love all the helpful hints, comments and posts here. Having fun learning and exploring the world of Triumph!

I love not being another frickin harley rider!!!

Looking forward to meeting some of you guys from around my area at the Camp/Ride in Interlochen, MI May 28-31st.

P.S. Debating on whether I wanna still keep my 1978 Yamaha XS650E... Bought it new in 1978. It's been like a trusty friend all these years. Not sure I will wanna ride it much after being on the Triumph!

Peace,
Joe

Congrats on the purchase of your T-bird. Wise choice, They are great bikes. Lots of great info here too! Hope you like to meet people because these bikes generate lots of admirers and conversation. Even non-bikers love these Hinckley classics. Ride safe my friend!

jdumas54...If you decide to sell that old Yamaha, I might be interested. I have had three over the years and maybe would like another.
