    Hi Everyone, I'm 74 been riding motorbikes for 64 years. In 1965 I bought my first new bike, a Triumph T120 unit construction Bonneville.
    I'm know I'm in my twilight years of riding, today I bought a Triumph Thruxton R, which will be my last bike. I will have completed the circle, starting and finishing with the same bike.
    I've done most things on a bike including 6 weeks in the Himalayas completing 3 of the silk roads, (350cc Royal Enfield).
    Look forward to meeting like minded people.
    Bless you

    Salutations.
    Great choice on the bike. though commiserations on the weather.
    Your a man made of strong stuff.

    I spent a weekend on the bike in North Wales last summer. It started raining as I crossed the border, didn't stop until I crossed the border back again. :D
