Howdy and welcome from Houston! I think some content is ok. LoL. The best part about this forum is the people. Lots of experienced riders and motorcycle enthusiasts. Great when a newbie has questions. I’m a senior type myself, but a relative newbie to owning a motorcycle and this forum has been a great resource for me because of the people here. Everyone tries to pass along what they know, learned and experienced. Welcome again!
Hello and welcome to TT from the east coast of Canada 
That "no motorcycle content" is a bit ambiguous I have to admit. The intention is to just post an introduction and ask questions, bike related matters, etc., in the correct section of the forum as it pertains to your bike.
An introduction thread is the right place to comment on your motorcycles and give a brief rundown of your motorcycling history and adventures. That way, we get to know you a little bit.
Lots of us "old guys" here so jump right in.

First bike was a new Honda Trail 90. That lasted until 1965 when I got my first British bike, a used 1952 AJS 500cc. In 1968, while in the Navy, I bought a brand new Triumph Bonneville. Loved it for the few months I had it before it was stolen from right in front of the base. It was followed by a secession of other Triumphs and BSA's. All told I have owned 38 motorcycles, 24 street bikes and 14 dirt bikes. I raced Bultaco's for several years and have been mostly riding BMW's as my main street bike for quite a while.
The fond memories I had for the short lived Bonneville eventually led me to my 2018 T120. First attracted by the looks but when I sat on it it immediately felt perfect. Shortly after the test ride it was mine. I have made a number of modifications to the suspension and increased the performance. It sits alongside a 2019 BMW GS in my shop. The GS always goes on any overnight trips but otherwise I ride them both about equally.
