    Greetings and great to be here. My second Thruxton and first water-cooled model. First one was a 2008 Chromium Thruxton (last US carb model) that got burgled on Halloween 2021 in Williamsburg. Picked up this one from an incredibly cool guy in Austin, TX with 4500 miles in December 2021. So many mods and the last pic shows the latest one with Omega Racer Seat + Motone X-Pipe Lite + short Motone Thor Pipes + Triumph black engine/clutch covers + UK headlight and switchgear with daytime LED running light.

    Thanks! If you ever want to see Brooklyn please LMK and there is a real Triumph community here. Obviously most are poseurs (I have at least 300K) but we appreciate/learn/adapt

    Great looking bike! Interesting back tire; do you take it off road now and then? Oddly, our exploring the roads of northwest NJ, Central and Eastern PA have put us on dirt/gravel roads a lot! BTW, I have strictly street tires on my Sprint GT! Some of those loose gravel switchbacks around Cedar Run PA were a little exciting! I wished that I had more-aggressive tread on my back tire! :)
    Where do you ride out of Brooklyn?

    Greetings @seanstream, and welcome to the forum! Love your bike -- great pics. I had a 2016 Thruston R. I traded it and it's one of the bikes I do wish I could get back. Hope you enjoy the forum!
