If we weren't a country apart, I would be seriously tempted.

You better hope I don't win the lottery, Greyfell, or it's mine.

One of the best Triumph’s I’ve ever owned. Took a lot of work, but really worth it, as it’s one solid machine. Starts well, shifts perfectly, good throttle and holds the turns. The 1995 Triumph TBird is in a class all to its own! Funny mine is an exact same colour!

How's the finish and brightwork? Kept inside? I'm in Vero and FL by the beach is killer on finishes.

To end the suspense, I did buy the Thunderbird, and have it shipped to me. I have to keep my promise to MOT to start a new thread.

If I ever find a TBS I may add it to my garage.

Aha, if you change your mind, I'm just 45 miles away from it, or where it was at least.

Congrats @Greyfell . Kinda picked up a hint this happened in your mention of old tires somewhere else.

Yes, the tires, though really looking good, had date codes from 1995. The suggested tires, in the manual, are not available here (out-of-production or UK only), so I made a matchup of a couple of Bridgestone tires. The challenge I didn't expect is the rear tire on this early bike is wider than later bikes (160/80/16 vs 150/80/16). The rear tire I went with will fit on a Gold Wing, but the tread pattern fits well with the front tire.There are some little niggling things I need to take care of, but I am NOT complaining, just things to expect from such low usage.

I love the sound of the triple!
