bloody long time between drinks ( or rides in this case) .. as they say. 70 years old .. glad you didn't leave the decision to throw your leg back over a Triumph too much longer .. welcome back. PS don't still have the pre-unit tucked away have you

Welcome DVD from a never stopped riding 66 year old Aussie ,20 when you gave up riding, ,Gee it must have made a lasting impression on you to come back after 50 years, just be careful I have seen a few born again riders come to grief , it will all come back like riding a giant pushbike

wish I did still have it ,but a rookie cop without a license or insurance trashed it.

Welcome to the fold, you'll have fun. Just keep in mind that the thing has a ton of mass so take it easy when going slow. At normal riding speed the bike is well balanced and a doddle to ride.
