Hi, just joined the forum! I own a 2001 1.9 z3 sport in silver. Had the car approx 2 and a half years now, and it's a superb car. I'm just in the process of relocating from West Yorkshire Upto Dumfries and Galloway. The scenery up there is excellent and hopefully my insurance premium will be cheaper too!
For anybody wondering my username trumpetman doesn't refer to an instrument I play, but I'm a motorcycle enthusiast too and own a nice triumph bonneville!
Happy days!

Thanks for all the replies!
My bonny is a 2016 "newchurch" model. I did own a 1977 t140v about 10 years ago,it looked great, but just didn't go as well as it looked, and oil leaks everywhere, wet sumping and the like.
I"ve had to say the futures modern, and I don't have to fix it when I get back from riding it.

Welcome from central Canada! I'd love another Triuph as my first was a 63, but as you say"leaks everywhere" so now have a 99 Honda Aero that has sat to long while I've been suffering PTSD. Stay upright, JIM
