    Just to introduce myself, recently back on a bike after retirement and and my daughter having grown up.

    I have been running an Aprillia Pegaso 660 factory for a while. I wanted something smoother and more tractable around town and with a bit of class. I am awaiting delivery of a T100 black. I have owned Triumphs in my youth, a Grand Prix, Tiger 90 and a Daytona 500.

    I ordered the bike from Dave Death motorcycles here on the Isle of Wight in the UK. They have been a Triumph dealer for many years, my dad now in his late 80's was at school with Dave and purchased his first Triumph from the shop when he left the army in the 50's.
