Good call Britman  cooldude

If I had access to the roads that you do, that Thruxton would be a no-brainer.  Grin

If I could, I would have 4 bikes.  In addition to my Valk and Triumph Scrambler, I would add this Thruxton and the new Bobber.
But, the Thruxton is my favorite.  I love Triumphs, most of the bikes coming from Japan just look like each other.

I really was into English bikes back in the day. Had a real soft spot for 'Trumpets'.  I've been thinking hard about making a Cafe ride, and, I think it would be a triumph.

Whoa - Very nice! The only thing I would do is add the Triumph quarter fairing that they currently sell. Well maybe some lower clip ons.....

But - beautiful!

I looked at one of those back before I got too sick to ride.  For me anyways, the seat was too high and the bars too low. 

And yes...did you buy it.   cooldude

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
