Hi. I've owned an '05 T100 for about 3 weeks now and the only down side is that I didn't buy one sooner. I've spent to last couple of years on a CB450 and the difference is incredible. It hadn't been used for about 9 months only being started occasionally by the last owner. He couldn't actually ride but bought it off a mate who needed to sell.

I got really lucky with it although it does show signs of its inactivity. Cosmetically it's perfect but it has a misfire at idle and could do with a service, which it is booked in for.

In the meantime I'm just going to enjoy myself, and all those red lights which give passers-by a chance to stop and stare.

Welcome - you will love that bike, as I come to realize with my own T100. Triumph is outstanding!

'05 T100 is what I have too... welcome to the tribe. There's just nothing else that has the magic of a British twin, is there?

Don't worry they won't just stare, but will start asking about the bike

Enjoy the ride
