    Hi All,

    I have been a Triumph rider since my first bike a 2001 Bonne (which I still regret selling) I now run around on a 2014 Thunderbird Storm which is an awesome bike.

    Anyway I am from Aberdeen in Scotland (there are 11 others around the world) and just thought Id say hello.

    know them well. many a times I have passed out at the Cuminestown Rally.

    I do like it, except the squeaking (which is apparently fixed) and the rusty belt guard (which is being resprayed) apart from that its all good.
