hello from old cold sweden

[Datadavid]

Hello boys and girls! New guy from west coast sweden. I've had a t100c chopper from 67 that i had to completely rebuild 3 times in the 5 years i owned it. Sweet sound and performance when it ran though and i loved it. Now im on a slightly more reliable '04 thruxton
And we ride about 6 months a year here so a lot of downtime.. garage time.. building on an airbox remover at the moment.
Cheers
David

David, welcome from Australia and the middle of our summer, not that matters much to us as we ride 52 weeks a year.

Good on you for making a personalized air box removal system. The satisfaction from personal work is so much better than buying off the shelf. Looking forward to more photos of your progress.

I reckon if you fitted studs to your tires you could ride year round

David, welcome to the forum form Florida, USA. Glad you joined with us. That is a good introduction and we love the pics. You are definitely right ast to the reliability of the modern Thruxton vs vs the older Meriden Triumphs; but those older Triumphs are a lot of fun.

Hello and welcome to TT from another seasonal Triumph owner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

It looks like (from the lower-right of your first photo) you got the first "tool" of any bike project handy.....a bottle of beer!

Welcome to TT from Southeast Texas. Looking forward to seeing more photos of your bike projects and hopefully some from rides around your beautiful country.

I'll do a lot to help my fellow riders but no one is going to fit me to a tire.
