New Thunderbird

Afternoon all,

Just wanted to say hi.
I have just put a deposit down on a 2014 Storm which I hope to get next weekend, can't wait!!

First time on a cruiser, thought about a Harley but the Storm just had something more about it.

Plus I love Triumphs!

Will post some pics when I get it.

Cheers

Tony

 

Hi and thanks for the welcome, just hope the weather stays ok for a bit longer!

 

Where I live in Rossendale has its own climate!! Can be sunny everywhere in the country yet it will be chucking it down here, But it's been ok recently so keeps crossed for next weekend!!!

 

Have a made a rookie mistake in getting the one with the weird silver and black paint job? Personally I really like it but as I'm new here in hoping I haven't made an amateur mistake!!

 

Yes one of the salesmen described it as marble, the other as like a snake skin, must admit I thought it looked really good, different but good, doesn't look as good on pictures as it does in the flesh though

 

So I got to collect my new Storm today, what a bike!!
Just come from an ExplorerXC and had a Tiger 800XC before that so was a bit worried about the new set up but it took about 10 minutes to get used to.

Such a brilliant bike am really impressed will try and get some pictures up in the near future

 

Aha seems I may have unwittingly managed to put a picture up!!

 

Got to say I think it's just brilliant, got standard pipes on it but found the noise to be great fun!

Another pic of paint work

 

Nope no picture there, will have another go!

 

Does look a lot better in the flesh than on pictures, I was a bit concerned about it as I'd kinda forgot what it looked like since I ordered it, but it's great am well impressed.

Looking at what other bits n bats I can put into it now, can see this being costly!!!
