Thunderbirds Are Go

[Stichill_imp]

Well, well congrats Stichill.Nic elooking motorcycle. Hope it gives you many years and miles of smiles. Garage looks great btw. You know in Arizona you could pick up Rboes super clean 2013 CB 1100 and complete the stable. lol

So many bikes, so little money!

I was waffling back and forth between getting a CB1100 or a Thunderbird next. It finally came down to the uniqueness of the riding experience. The T-bird delivers a wallop of sensations whereas the CB100 is engineered to be smooth and subtle. I decided to go for thrill vs chill this time around.

Congrats Stichill! That Triumph is a real beauty. Any chance we'll see her in person at this year's rally?

Thanks A-man! I’ve been procrastinating on signing up for the rally, but yeah if I get my act together I’ll roll up there on her!

Popgun I guess that’s a Harley culture / Sturgis reference? No, there won’t be any blowup dolls riding pillion on this machine. I’m planning on toning down the pirate styling influence by swapping the hideous OEM buckle bags for some nice leather-covered hardbags from Viking.

Lol - no love for the aye matey pirate? The anticipated hard side bags look much better Stichill.

BTW: In the side view one would be hard-pressed to see that the Thunderbird is liquid-cooled. Triumph did a good job on the dressing of the lump.

Ha ha! No eye patches and Jolly Rogers for me. I like clean styling. Yeah the liquid cooling sleight-of-hand is pretty well-executed by Triumph. I think they do it better than most.
