Fandom mash-ups are fun.

So, my new bike is insured and taxed for road use. Even thought the weather forecast for tomorrow is grey and wet, that's why I invested in thermal waterproofs. I'll be heading up to my hometown to visit my dad to finalise some details for my mum's funeral. 120 mile round trip, which should be fun. Ordered a few parts so I can start modifying here. Given how crappy the year started I am grabbing hold of these happiness nuggets while I can.

Be safe!  I know you’ll take care of yourself, but remember to watch out for idiots... their actions (or lack thereof) can override a lot of caution on your part.

That's more an issue riding in central London (buses, lorries, cyclists, cars, vans, trucks, pedestrians walking out into the road without looking because they are engrossed with their mobile phone). Once you leave the city and hit the A-roads and motorways it's far easier and safer. I'm looking forward to actually having some power to overtake now (safely), as well as be able to go faster than 50mph without my bike sounding like it's having an asthma attack.

Great thread, and CONGRATS on getting your Triumph on the road, Knox!

I love to ride, and rural Maine is a perfect place for it - for about half the year, that is Grin

Growing up I had zero interest in motorcycles, as the danger factor was entrenched in my brain.  Fast forward to 2010, when my gf at the time convinced me to take a weekend riding course.  "Sure," I said.  "I'll gladly take the course with you, but you're crazy if you think I'm gonna run out and buy a bike afterwards."  HA!  Guess who spent the following weeks scouring all the power sports dealers for a new ride!  I got hooked, no turning back.  The gf not so much, unfortunately!  Two 'metric' cruisers, and two Harleys later, I finally found my keeper...

She's a beauty. And I know exactly what you mean about being hooked. Took Penny out on the road up to my hometown yesterday.  Despite always saying I have no desire to go above 60mph, there I was in the fast lane, cruising along at 80mph, singing out loud to songs on my ear buds! Such an enjoyable journey.
