Any Triumph enthusiasts here?

I’m not seeing many Triumph related posts. Any Triumph owners here? Prepping for cooler weather. LoL.

Love mine! Got tired of sport bikes and the last bike I had was a Ducati.
It was a great ride but it was like driving around in a Nascar beast all the time. Sometimes I just wanted to go for a ride without feeling like I was sitting on a hand grenade.

So I looked around, read the reviews and decided a Thruxton would be a good choice. As usual... I was right, lol.
It's fast enough to keep up, comfortable enough to take on long rides and i think it looks great!

Try European Motorcycle Night - Houston on Facebook. Lots of cool old Triumphs and other bikes. We meet in the Heights on Thursdays (not now due to covid), but a good group and nice people

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into after a vaccine is available! LoL. Covid has put a bit of a damper on my activity plans.

Humble, I graduated from Humble High School, too many years ago.

Best bike I've ever owned.

Tojo92 · 07:05 PM

I love Triumphs...

I've had a Steamer Tiger, Daytona 1200, Sprint 955i, Kermit Speed Triple, and a few others.

Great Bikes!

Tojo92 · 09-05-2020, 07:09 PM

Sorry, posted two pics of the 1200. Here is the Sprint...

I’d like a yellow Daytona 675 among others. LoL. Of course I like the old models too, I’d love a 1960’s Triumph.

RAFIKI · 09-05-2020, 10:00 PM

Love me a Triumph.

WaltIronSupply · 09-08-2020, 11:04 AM

Big Triumph fan here, I suppose it helps that I work at a Triumph dealership. If y'all ever need anything give me a shout!

Im hoping to purchase a Tiger in the next couple months

No that is not us. I work at Iron Supply Powersports in Katy at 6117 HWY Blvd. 77494. I invite you to stop by and grab a free drink from our cooler, hangout, and check out some of our bikes if you are ever in the area.

Ill hopefully be planning some group rides in the future to Houston and outer Houston small businesses with incentives.

Cheers,

Walt

Thanks. I'll keep the invite in mind when I'm in the area. Welcome to the forum! Good to know there's competition in the Triumph market. Y'all have used Triumphs as well?

Track_Graphics · 09-08-2020, 04:49 PM

I have an extra full set of ZX10 farings if you want to make it look better.....

We do have used models, although they tend to go very quickly! Right now just to name a couple, we have a Bonneville T120 ACE, a mint 2018 black Street Triple Ride Smart with 700 miles and a few tasteful mods, and a Triumph Tiger 1200 in Metallic Olive Green.
