    Hello all! Fresh meat here :)
    Been around bikes and ridden most of my life but, I’m fresh and new to the Triumph brand. I just put a down payment on a 2019 black/chrome T120 and looking forward to picking her up in a couple of days. Meanwhile, I figured I’d start lurking around seeing what other owners/riders are talking about.
    Thanks for the forum!
    John

    Thanks @Helmut Visor !!!
    Have you been on Triumph’s for awhile? I am still riding my SV1000s but man I don’t bend and flex like I did when I bought it 16 years ago. Anyway, super excited to pick up and start riding my Bonnie.

    Thank you everyone for welcoming!

    So, as someone new to Triumph where should I start in the education process?

    Ah-hem...

    yeah...uhm...

    anyway, in relation to this site would be where the motivation for the question was derived

    if you were to have read the op, said bike is not yet in possession.

    the idea was to get a feel for what you current members consider helpful departments on the site but, maybe I am in the wrong place in your opinion and using this site to generate dialogue in not what Triumph Forum is about!?

    Only had mine for 18 months mate but lovin' it ;);)
    Still got my Aprilia but got fed up of scrunching myself into the head down, arse up position :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Take a look in the Bonneville section of the Forum, you'll probably find most of your answers there and also Triumph General Discussion and Technical Help :p:p
    Other than that browse through the rest and join in the banter, expect threads to be derailed but don't get pissy over it as you will get an answer in the end as there are some very knowledgeable and helpful people on here and take the comments in the manner in which they were intended (generally helpful and/or witty) :cool::cool:
