I forgot to add that line. I really apprecaite a place for us lunkers to go and learn what other owners are doing and the response you get when you have a question on your bike. I tried the "cruise control" rubber washer on the throttle what a difference it made no more hand cramps and the throttle just rolls back with little effort.
Thanks again.

Patrick Riordan, Leesburg Florida. Retired Navy and wanna-be aircraft mechanic. That "Stranger" thing really bugs me. Guess I better start getting my post count up a little. Bought my 05 TBA about 7-8 months ago. I cannot help but break into a HUGE grin everytime I step out to the garage! I get more looks, compliments, and thumbs up from folks all over. There is a lot of respect out there for these Triumphs.
I have to thank all here for the incredible wealth of information & knowledge you have provided me with here. I hope to post some pics soon to show how much I have benefited from this website.
I Love my Triumph, She is a thing of Beauty!

Patrick...
Just wanted to say hey. This is an old thread that doesn't see much activity these days. Your experiences are well-known to us all. Only idiots sneer at these bikes. There are always nifty little mods you can do - I'm for the small things that add up as opposed to the big flashy things - but nevertheless right off the line the America has been turning heads since it came out. Welcome in...if you haven't checked Brent's site out yet for your bling... you oughta. He's a great guy to deal with and a great supporter of our site.

Take a tour of the Photopost gallery. It covers a lot of ground. And keep asking questions. That's how we all learn.
