G'day Frosty, Welcome from Melbourne, Australia. Glad you still love the bike after the issues you've had.
 
Bought a 2006 classic in 2011, 2 months in had to have transmission upgrade lost 2nd gear.Bike has cat removed k&n filter and d&d pipes. Had some other issues coil went out throttle position sensor clutch switch( starter switch). Oh I'm not complaining I love the bike and would do it all over again love the power and torque. First triumph I have owned ,and now have an 2014 America for my wife(she loves it) and a 1995 trident 900 green and cream it's cool. I am 51 and have been riding since I was 5. Have always owned yamaha. I am 6 foot 375# and this bike fits awesome.i have become a triumph fan their just different and I love that. Frosty.
Welcome Frosty,
I am also a new member and chuckled to myself reading your challenges the big girl gave you, I too was also presented with some issues.
Purchased my girl new in 2012 although it was a 2010 plated model and as soon as the 2 year warranty expired and I am talking weeks, there was a TPS sensor, then the water pump, a fuel pump, stepper motor x 2, clutch switch at this point my wife was asking did I buy a lemon ? my 1200 daytona as she reminded me had a set of leads, fuel tap and a coil over 120k klm and never missed a beat. I sat back and said I know its crazy but I love it, I have done 70k klm now and quite a few trips outback OZ and can ride it tank to tank its awesome would never get rid of it. When I am too old to hold it up it will probably become a trike.
