Dear TT Members:
I've been instructed by the powers that be to introduce myself, however, I think the main thing is that I've finally seen the light and bought a Triumph.
I purchased a NOS 2019 Tiger 1200 XRx in Chula Vista (near the Mexican border) about 560 miles (901.2 km) south of my home.
While on the phone with the insurance lady, I realized that this was my twenty-first bike and the first new bike I've bought since 1970. As you may have surmised by now, I'm neither young, nor female, so you might as well go back to the part of TT that you love the most. I'm sure I'll find a corner from which I can lurk and learn.
As you will note in the photo below, all things shiny and new, age. This bike should give me many years of use before it looks as forlorn and weathered as the vehicles behind the fence. I made sure that there was at least a chain-link barrier to reduce rapid aging being transmitted to this fine bit of British steel.
In July I'm planning a 15,000 mile (24,140 km) trip around the United States. Should any Americans be reading this, let me know if there's something worth seeing in your neck of the woods. I'll be traveling across the northern part, turning right upon arrival in Maine, then down to the south end of Virginia before traveling back West.
Not in a straight line.
I do hope this is enough of an introduction, otherwise, you fell asleep at the keyboard and are now typing zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's across the screen.

Welcome, from somewhere near the Benicia Bridge.
Lighthouse! I've got a friend in central Maine that I was going to see, so I'll go East, then double back.
TO TT from Mississippi, i don't know what time of the year you will be in the south around Alabama but the Barber M/C museum at Leeds, Al will be having their very big bike meet around Sept.
