    Name is Paul Reeves I have a 1970 t100 bobber and a 1971 t120 bonneville in a million pieces.
    Triumphs- making mechanics out of ordinary men is no joke. I'm from Long Island N.Y., where I make my living as a carpenter. I'm currently 58 years old but physically much older (not really) mentally much younger (really). Looking foreward to interacting with fellow members and getting some answers about these wonderful machines.Isnt riding a well tuned reliable motorcycle wonderful?
    Yeah!
    Forgot to mention I've been riding since I was 17. First bike? Kawasaki 400. Second? Suzuki 750. Then a Honda 250 scooter. Then I moved on to the real bikes . TRIUMPHS!! You awe will have to forgive me if this is in the wrong place,just getting my feet wet.
    Cheers everyone.

    Welcome to the family. A picture of the steed would be nice. And when you rebuild the 120 do keep us all updated in the rebuilds and project section. Lots of the peeps here are pretty clued up so help will always be on hand for you. Take a look at some of the rebuilds that have past through the forum and they make you stand in awe.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    Hey Paul. Grew up in North Babylon, but haven't lived there since high school days ('73). Welcome to this excellent forum! Looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with those 2 classic Trumps.
