    Hi All,
    I've been riding 35 years and owned most manufacturers machines - but have just got my first Triumph. It's a 2003 Thunderbird 900 and I love it!
    I normally chop and modify everything I own, but this is staying standard!

    join the club....Although standard is not for me, indicators too big and pipes not loud enough :p 1464-1490267375-4590451405918eca33939947d16f0b5d.jpg

    Hi Robert, welcome to the fun house. Had a 900 Thunderbird myself a few years back, now got the Bonnie I always wanted.

    Tucker says I don't know what you're on but you better go back to the doctors and ask for stronger MED's .
    As everyone knows BLACK is the only COLOUR. _20180213_064431.jpg Tucker

    Hmmm, red!
    Nice to see a thread about Thunderbird's, I know nothing about bikes, barely know how to ride them, but Thunderbird's are awesome!
    Proper bikes!

    Tors are a must, to let that roarty growl be heard.
