Greg we are blessed with a lot of good people on this forum, and mercifully no idiots, we all respect each others views, and try to have a laugh along the way, as you've seen for yourself, it's all done with no malice or spite at all. ( Or if you remember Kenny Everett, " It's all done in the best possible taste " ) I've been on this forum now just over 2 years and I love it. You get to interact with people all over the world who share the same love of Triumph motorcycles as I have. People post pictures of where they've been, or post their up and coming plans of there next trip or holiday for all to see.
You can do a world tour as I did a year or so ago, without even leaving your own front room, I just went to the travel section one day, and looked at all the postings.
Information is always on hand for all to access, and the best part is when new members such as yourself, jump in and get involved right away, and more to the point your enjoying it too.
