Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle.
Met a guy the other day on a 2006 Triumph Thruxton motorcycle. I am not much of a bike person, rode Cushman Eagle motor scooters as a kid. I was very much impressed with this bike. Anyone here have an expierence withthe modern Triumphs? Pros and Cons.

No experience with the modern Triumphs but I had a 1967 650 Bonneville with 750 Zip kit, Titanium valves & rockers, dual carbs, dual points & dual coils back in 1972....a real fast mother. My brother around that time had a chopped 1957 650, I think it was a Trident (?). Those were the days.............

I think one would have brought out the dynamite in my case.

Love your use of the word 'Travails' Willie! Should see it used more often I reckon!

Fenian's good people. Met him via the web several years ago in an online flight sim squadron. We've flown "blue" ( Axis ) against "red" ( Allies ) and vice versa. He's flown my wing and I've flown his in the virtual skies of Russia and the Pacific.
We've never met face to face but I feel like I've known him all my life.
We've yakked each other's ears off on teamspeak in years past. LOL
He's a trip. If I ever get to Sweden or he ever gets to Texas, I suspect it will get very drunk outside and probably inside as well.

Good thread, I can see it going on forever! I used to have one, ape hangers, loud pipes & the whole bit. Got rid of it because I needed the money more than the bike! Also a lack of time, life tends to get in the way. You can't ride for most of the year in Alberta anyway! Someday I hope to ride again, maybe in retirement.
