New Chap Saying Hi....

Hi everybody, i have been lurking on the forum for a few days & have already posted a couple of times but, excuse my manners, i forgot to introduce myself first in this section of the forum. What ive seen so far, although its relatively quiet here there seems to be a good mix of comedians about.

Anyway, Im Jeremy & i live in the Peterborough area & work for the local council, maintaining the parks & communal areas. Im hoping to possibly purchase a Triumph Bonneville America soon, currently researching cruiser bikes from various brands, stuck between Triumph & the Kawasaki at present, although im leaning more towards the Triumph.

Is the America a good bike? Anything i should look out for when viewing potential purchases? Plus points & negative points with this model?

Looking forward to having some laughs as ive noticed some forums are a bit clicky or mainly trainspotter type people! Lol

 

Welcome to the forum how you enjoy the banter , I have a 05 speedmaster you can see it on my profile haven't looked back, just check the service records,mileage ect.as for negative slower than the speedy rocket ships but that why you can cruise around in comfort LOL and the Triumph badge says it all better the Kwackasaki. Hope this helps

As for the forum definatly no trianspotters here :biggrin:

 

Welcome, never had an America so can't really comment, somebody on here will have. Hope you get one before the summer goes !

 

Welcome to the forum mate, hope you get sorted out with a bike soon summers nearly over already by the looks of it!!!

 

Cheers for the warm welcome chaps.

Are there any real differences apart from cosmetically between the America & Speedmaster models? Also i dont know if its my crappy laptop or not but a lot of the links (highlighted in red) in posts on the "America & Speedmaster" section seem to be dead links, or is that just me?

 

One the forum members left and deleted photos ect he has an america if you want to look elsewhere there is a site on FB called Triumph Cruisers give it a look :upyeah:

 

Thanks for the heads up about the FB place, i will take a look on there later. Did the chap that left sell his America?

 

no long story he is on the FB site

 

Welcome BetaAlpha..To the forum..seems like you will fit right in here...

 

Hi welcome to the forum, I come from a background of mostly Japaneese bikes and had a brief affair with a Ducati but the Triumph has proved to be totally reliable up to now.

 

Hi BetaAlpha and welcome to the forum, your just up the road from me. If you see me at Webbs come and say hello - I'm normally hassling Steve at the parts desk for new bits! Cheers

 

groom alert!!!

 

Whoa there! we don't know his age yet?

 

Doesn't seem to bother you overly, just sayin'... :wink:

 

Welcome!

 

Maybe... Maybe not... I think i may have offended some locals already

 

Thanks.
I presume the Italian wasnt as good as you had hoped?

 

How old would you like me to be? I dont have an issue with roll playing

 

Thats what i kinda meant... its almost like PIG has resurfaced... You wont get that but the others will.....

Or maybe you will.............

 

Ive been reading a lot on this forum over the last couple of days, having a good trawl through the threads, which admittedly do tend to go off on a tangent somewhat. This pig fella seems to get mentioned quite a lot recently, was he a bit of a legend on here?
