Triumph fanboy, but I love all bikes...even the pedal kind.  A 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport (which I call the Mini Rocket) made me fall in love with Triumph and the Triple engine in particular.  I finally made the leap the the Rocket and regret depriving myself of it for these past many years.
I live in Frederick Maryland, ride often and far, and would welcome meet-ups and travelling buds.
