    hi just joined the club by buying my first proper bike, the T120 and just wondered if anyone had one and had any tips on what's good and what may be a challenge of owning one, as they look great and feel great to ride around on.

    Ps I am late to motorcycles as in early 50's and have just discovered the freedom of bikes after driving cars and riding bicycles for years.

    Hi and welcome, as with any new bike you have a good warranty package so other than keeping the bike clean and making sure fluid levels, tyre pressures and regular chain oiling are done just enjoy the bike :)

    Cheers it is my two lads telling me I am an old man that makes me feel like one, so if I am a youngster again on here I will be very happy.

    Thanks for the response and looking forward to some Triumph times ahead.

    Welcome watty...

    I have just turned 50, and as I'm sure you are aware there is many a good tune to be played on an old fiddle. ;)

    Great forum this. Enjoy it and enjoy your bike. It's a beaut.

    Thanks Dave, the new T120 is very close to the old Bonneville in its styling
