    Hi guys,

    I'm Pete from Southampton.

    My first Triumph was a 1959 6T (see pic) when I was 17 following my dear old BSA C15.

    Since those days I've had many bikes including a 1973 850 Commando MkIIa and a Hardly Dangerous Dynaglide (which I promised myself when I was a wet-behind-the-ears kid that didn't know any better).

    My current scoot is a Thunderbird which has had a few cosmetic mods and a big bore kit (sooooo much better than the standard 1600).

    However after 3 years of ownership, which I have thoroughly enjoyed, it's time for a change, so I'm taking delivery of a Tiger Sport next week and saying goodbye to my dear Tbird.

    Hope to meet up with a few of you during the year. Lets hope we have a summer like last year :upyeah:

    Pete

    Thanks Chrispy. Yeah, most Tbirds seem to be up north (for some strange reason)

    Welcome to the Forum
    Bet you wish you still had the 6T as I'm sure they must be worth a bit now also those boots you were wearing are a bit different from the new ones.

    I'm up Fleet / Farnham way so might run into you some time.

    Cheers

    Steve
