    Welcome, Murray!
    I’m in Jacksonville NC now but heading back to Houston this weekend. (I hope it thaws out by then)

    Two Speedmaster and a new T120 here. I’ve flat worn the 2004 out, though, at 115K miles. Still running, but no longer fit for road trips. Lord only knows how hard I’ve tried to break her and she just keeps on ticking... I am most proud and impressed with Triumph.
    I may be parting with my ‘09 soon, just don’t have room or need for three and she’s modified and not a good road trip bike (but a heck of a lot of fun to rip across town and back on). Both of them are plenty enough motorbike for anyone.
    I’m getting to know the T120, with 1300 miles already, but I could live well and love me another 900 someday too. A T100 with twin front discs?
    Keeping the smaller motors wound up is a lot easier and a lot more fun than keeping the 1200 reigned in. So far, that’s my take.
