    Hello people!

    Thanks for including me on this forum I’m sure it will be very useful for me as I’m very new to Triumph. I’m 60 years young but retired, and live in a beautiful part of Australia, country Northern Tasmania, which is full of excellent motorcycle roads.

    I’ve had motorcycles for the past 38 years and have just sold my last non Triumph…..a HD Road King. The exciting news is I have a Bonnie T120 Black on order. I’ve optioned it up with heated grips, Fox rear shocks along with the comfort saddle to keep my pillion happy. And a bunch of other items, as one does…..

    The bike has the new 2024 Graphite/Matte Graphite tank with silver pinstripe - it’s a work of art in my eyes :heart_eyes:

    Arrival date is next month but I’m heading to the UK and Portugal for a holiday later in April so might have to wait until I return home in June to take delivery. I’ve planned a trip to Hinckley of course!

    Anyway, thanks for including me here….I’ll be reading lots of threads getting some kinda knowledge base going. Cheers, Dan.

    Welcome buddy :)

    60 years and retired. Well done mate ;)

    The way the world is costing, I don't think retirement is even an option for me :(

    …..worked in mining for 30 years and no kids = earlier retirement :)

    Welcome; have a new 2023 Bonne Black; last bike was a 2002 HD Road King (excellent build and quality); the Bonne is a beast - wakes up in 3rd gear at 3k rpms; hit it and hold on or kiss your arse goodbye; you're going to love it.
