Hello John,

Yes we are still learning and still finding new places to go to on the Broads.

Plenty of pubs have changed hands over the last couple of years and the standard of the operation on these pubs has certainly got beter. The meals on offer on the Southern Broads is second to none.

Welcome aboard from us, John

 

Triumph Thunderbird, eh? My second bike, in  '57 was a cast iron barrelled, sprung rear hub, Thunderbird 650cc from about '52.

 

 

 

In a straight line only a Vinnie would touch it but, oh, those corners were downright frightening, if not dangerous!

welcome from me to

[sprintst]

Thanks guys, ....   still learning is my excuse and I'm sticking to it  

 

I believe you MM, ...  I'll try and be nice about the BA on here 

 

 

1950s Thunderbirds Admiral !  when they were properly sporty bikes, ..  mine is a 2011 1700cc twin cruiser style, .. does stand out a bit as we had painted metallic purple and gold, it's not called the Ziggy the Disco Bike for nothing.  

[MauriceMynah]

Not broads related I suppose, but I'd love to see a more detailed pic of Ziggy. Pretty please!

[ranworthbreeze]

Hello JTF, MM, John,

I will second that.

Regards

Alan

Looking at that list of names I'm known by it's no wonder I used to suffer from schizophrenia. I'm cured now but the problem is, Where am I now I need me most?

[Hockham Admiral]

John, Hi.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ziggy the Disco Bike too! 

[sprintst]

Hi Guys if someone could help me through my doh ! moment by teaching me how to attach pics I'd be happy to show you a few snaps.

Thank you Alan, very much appreciated.  

 

There aren't many metallic purple, orange and gold triumph Thunderbirds knocking about so it can attract a bit of attention  The paint was expertly applied by Ty Lawer of Pageant Paint at Snetterton, I'm to blame for the rest of it. There is very little that is standard but the idea was to have a custom bike that looks as though it could have come from the factory that way.

Hello John,

 

Great pictures of a one off classic bike.

I hate to think of the man hours involved in the building of the bike.

Well Done

Alan

[Katakalousse]

That is one hell of a hot bike

[Hockham Admiral]

Great pics, John.

 

Here's one I took in Lemmer at the weekend... a V-four! Not as impressive as your T'Bird but it does have that aura about it!

 

 

 

[sprintst]

Very nice,     .. looks a lot more comfortable and practical than mine,    .. I think it's called a Yamaha DragStar, .. a Harley competitor.
