Great comments from everyone and good thoughts to ponder on. For my two cents, if you are buying a motorcycle based on the bling factor, you are missing the whole point of riding. There are not many places you are going to get to go 200 mph on your bike but I know thousands of enjoyable miles you ...

Congratulations on a good looking buy. Ride it in good health.

Thanks for sharing the video of your ride. That is a sweet looking bike.

Best wishes for your healing. Hope you are up and around soon. It always hurts to see a Triumph down. Take care of yourself and don't rush the healing. Proving you can take the pain doesn't help it heal. May your insurance return the bike looking like new.

Thanks for the smile, Andrea. My daughter lives in Ontario, Canada with my granddaughter. My daughter just graduated with her degree in education (bound to be another starving teacher despite better advice). I ride pretty much year round here in Texas. Take care and enjoy the weather up there.

I can scrape pegs on either but just enjoy diving into a good left turn more than a right. I am left handed but pitch right. I send morse code with either hand.

Riding without a helmet is the same as playing Russian roulette with an automatic pistol. I oppose government mandates but would not get on two wheels without a helmet nor allow a passenger to do so.

One last T-Bird pic.

Another pic of my T-Bird.

This is my Thunderbird. As I live on a dirt road I more often refer to it as my "dirty bird" as it is almost pointless to clean it more than weekly.
