Hi Newbie from Newcastle UK. Recently got back into bikes after a 42 year break ! Got a Street Scrambler, my pride and joy. Always dreamt of owning a Triumph since the 70s. Love to tinker and mod bikes, that's half the fun. Looking forward to reading what other members have done.
Greetings and welcome to the forum, @Old mike! That's a great looking Scrambler and I'll bet you're glad to be back to riding.
Old Mike. Welcome to the family. Nice bike. Thanks for sharing the picture. Yes tinkering is what makes the Triumph world go round. Joe.
Welcome Mike. A couple of years ago on the way back from Scottyland I decided to take the alternative cross country route towards Newcastle rather than the normal A1 or M6 options. There's some nice riding roads around there. As I was freewheeling it a bit (ie somewhat lost as to precise position) heading South Eastish from Jedbrough I'm not sure I could repeat it though. As we live on a small island you just have to ride for an hour or so before you hit something recognisable (eg Atlantic). I wasn't in so much of a hurry until the heavens opened around Leeds. It didn't stop until West London... Only ever been in Newcastle town once, in the nineties. I just remember gangs of girls and lads shouting at each other from either side of the street on a Friday night.
Greetings from the US! We are on the similar boat, i also hibernated since the 70s, and just got my first Triumph 2 weeks ago! Enjoy!
