Hello everyone - Happy to find this forum and begin digging into the many threads. I currently ride a 2005 T100 Bonneville (Tangerine & Cream tank), and a new 2024 Speed Twin 1200 Stealth edition. Triumphs have been in my family since the 1960's as my Dad rode Tigers, Daytonas, and Bonnevilles throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's. The Bonneville is the last bike he bought (new), and I'm fortunate to continue riding it. Bill
Greetings, @Bill Hawkins, and welcome to the forum. What a great back story to your love of bikes and their history in your family. It's so cool that you're riding your dad's bike (and that photo is great, BTW). Glad you found this forum. It's a great community. I connected here when I bought a 2019 Speed Triple RS just over six years ago. BTW, we do love motorcycle photos here (hint for more)!
Hey, @Bill Hawkins, where are those promised photos? I looooove the paint job on your Speed Twin. I saw a bike with that paint at our local dealership and it immediately caught my attention.
Beautiful bikes! Love the paint on the Speedy! My wife and I have been thinking about road trips from NW NJ, and the Great Smokies are among our favorite destinations. We've been to Little Switzerland a couple of times, and love the Big Lynn Lodge in NC! Although we've wandered into TN a few times on loop rides, I am looking for your suggestions for places to go. I've seen lots of posts about the "Southern Dozen" out of Johnson City. Any thoughts to share will be greatly appreciated!
There are some beautiful rides in and around Chattanooga. The Lookout Mountain Parkway is one of my favorites https://drivelookoutmountain.com/location/ Enjoy!
