    Hello folks

    Just made a downpayment for a 2000 Thunderbird Sport 900: 9400 miles on the clock. My dream bike since I was a kid. Taken me 50 years to get there - can't wait to take it out for my first ride next month when it's delivered.

    Looking forward to learning more about maintenance and looking after my Thunderbird.

    Cheers all

    Gareth

    Welcome to the madhouse you should fit right in. When you get you're new bike the inmates will need photos as it keeps them quite.
    Hope it's black

    Thanks Tigcraft!

    Already looking forward to getting my hands dirty with the Thunderbird when it's delivered. Looking to change the handlebars or use risers to give me a more upright riding position. I'm 6'1" and the ergo-cycle website shows a pretty crouched position for my height.

    Welcome aboard Gareth, good on you for getting your dream bike, I've recently bought a 1050 Speed triple, 2015 plate but wanted once since I first seen them at the NEC in about 2005, roll on the spring.
