Doubt I'm the only Brit on here, but representing your founding Fathers; alas a new member. I serve in the British Army & currently own a 2009 ST675 with gucci bits on it including Arrow 3-1 Lowboy exhaust, and Maxton front & rear suspension. Looking for inspiration for further mods including, but not upto, shiney new adjustable levers, tail tidys, bobbins, resevoirs etc etc etc. Looking forward to delving into the forum, and finding out who loves Triumph but hates Great Britain ha! Excuse the sarcasm, I'm British. I love America, holiday there regularly. I forgot to mention that I'm British.

Regards

Welcome to the forum!

I think you will find the membership here is not completely dominated by the Americans. There is a sizeable population of Brits and Australians on here, plus members from everywhere else (European members are plentiful here, as well).

I was deployed to Camp Leatherneck several times, which shares it's base with Camp Bastion. Camp Bastion is the main British base in the Helmand Province. I love popping over to the British side for the coffee shops. A nice touch of civilization in a harsh landscape.

Introduce yourself in the Street Triple forum, post photos of your 675, and join the banter.

I did two deployments to Camp Dwyer, passing through Camp Leatherneck in 2010 and 2011.

I did two deployments to Kunduz in 2012 and 2013. On my first deployment to Kunduz I ended up out at FOB EDI in the Camp leatherneck AO for a few months to help that site. On the last one my site closed so I ended up at Camp Leatherneck for maybe three months.

I went through Leatherneck multiple times on each of my deployments. It was like my one constant.

I am a military contractor and I operated UAVs. Each deployment was between six and nine months. I am a military helicopter mechanic by trade, so the UAV gig was a cool departure from my norm. I really enjoyed the role I played in hunting Taliban and providing security to the boys outside the wire.

Now? I sit in a cubicle. It is a slow, painful death...
