    Hello from Southern California, USA!

    I just recently purchased a Thruxton R and very much look forward to learning (and contributing) to the community.

    My other bike is a 2008 Ducati Sport Classic and I’ve owned various other bikes throughout the years from Harleys to Husqvarnas. Only recently have I been drawn to performance tuned bikes, hence the Thruxton R!

    Thanks for reading

    Thank you, I plan to! Hard to tell looking from my iPhone but it looks like you have a thruxton R as well. Any recommendations on a good fender eliminator kit?

    Love your ride! I lived in Huntington Beach for many years and only had a bike. Being back in New England is tough. You only get 4 or 5 months of good riding here. I just joined this group, so welcome fellow newbie!

    Yep I do have a thruxton R as well. Got mine in November and have not ridden it yet as the weather here in the UK has been shite. Sorry I cannot help with the tail tidy as I will be keeping my bike as standard :)

    Welcome to a terrific forum, madmensch! From where in southern Cal do you hail? I lived in San Diego County for a number of years. I had a 2016 Thruxton R and went with the Cognito Moto tail tidy and loved it. I no longer have the bike but do miss it. Hope you enjoy yours!!

    Welcome to the family. Real nice steed you have there. The inmates will ogle that for a while. Nursey will get a rest tonight. Don't worry she will be along with your meds soon. Do show us the steed by hitting the upload a file button bottom right corner.
    Regards
    Joe
