Considering A Triumph

[streaminfreedom]

15 years ago got hit from behind on my Kawasaki, then it got stolen from the uninsured shop and so I gave up riding while my kids started to grow up. The oldest bought his first bike yesterday and its time again to jump back on two wheels. Been looking at all sorts of options, but the Triumph Thunderbirds are close to leading the pack. Looking forward to more info and thoughts on the triumphs.

Thanks to all who moderate and host this forum.

Welcome, from Northern California. I recently replaced my Bonneville with a Thunderbird, but I haven't ridden it enough to give definitive feedback.

I'm originally from the big D, so actually Texan here in the mountains, thanks for the welcome!

Let me know once you do. I like the new Bonneville's but trying to get closer to 10k or lower.

Sure, but I'll be upfront...I bought a 1995 Thunderbird to replace my 2008 Bonneville T100. I think we're talking two different machines, like a papa compared with a son (based on your other thread).

Welcome to TT from Eastern Canada.
Hope you find the "right" one for you. T'birds are great bikes(I had a 14 LT for 4 years). Sad they don't make them anymore.
