Well I finished up the loan paperwork and my account shows the loan already on it so I now own a 2010 Triumph Phantom Red Haze 1700 Thunderbird...I just haven't seen it yet, it isn't at the dealer yet either and I can't ride it till I come home for R&R in February. But at least the hard part is done...now I have to see if I can pay that sucker off by May.

In June it will be worth it...I'll finally be done once and for all. I know I said that once and for all back in 2007...but this time I really mean it. Upgraded a lot of the house since then (two full bathroom renovations, new central heating and A/C system, new 12' X 30' aluminum bldg, new concrete driveway, new bedroom furniture, plus paid off dining room furniture, son's bedroom furniture, new fridge, new 5 burner gas range, new dishwasher, concrete ramps to my two motorcycle sheds and the new aluminum building, new hot water heater, new ducting in the attic and double paned storm windows all the way around the house) paid off the Rocket, my son's Focus and a signature loan and paying off the Mustang in January, my wife's Mazda in April and hopefully the new 'Bird in May.

Wife is still cancer free.

Time to go on a good vacation come June.

Thanks guys, now all I have to find out is since this bike is being shipped from CA it more than likely has CA emissions junk on it. My question would be where is it located on the bike and can it be "cured" with a different Triumph tune and/or short TORs or other types of mufflers?

Congrats. Mine's right here in the barn, and you'll be riding yours long before mine comes out to play again. Snow and ice and road salt...
 
Congrats! Don't go thinking we're going to take warm showers together just because we ride the same bike, however.

p.s. Too bad you couldn't find a black T-Bird (fastest color). Then, you wouldn't have had to spend the extra dough on the big bore version.
