| | Posted : 12 Mar 2012 - 03:14 Post title : Tbird spotted at... | | | So I've had my Tbird since last May, and I have not seen another Tbird around until the other day. So, I guess I'm not the lone Tbird in these parts. This also happens to be the Costco I frequent, and drive by through out the day while working.
I thought it might be cool to see other Tbird sightings you all might have had. I actually had to double park my semi on the street so I could quickly take this pic.

| | Posted : 16 Mar 2012 - 20:19 Post title : Re: Tbird spotted at... (Re: Noladuck) | | | Saw a silver Tbird the other day, the first one I have seen here in a fairly large city. See some at the dealer for routine maintenance, but few on the road. Triumph had only about 2.1% of the market, but those are old numbers, and are surely higher now, with the introduction of the Thunderbird 1600, SE A1 and the Storm, There are also some new triples, so it looks like Triumph is on a roll. I find their bikes are reasonably priced for what you get, and one very pleased Triumph rider here.

DUH!!!!! lol I've been thru there many times on rtes 7 and 9.But the last I heard, after that heavy rain storm we had up here in New England towards the end of last year,Vermont took a pretty good hit with many of the really nice roads washing out.Rtes 100,108,4,5,and 9 were mentioned.But don't know if it got that far west to Bennington. Rte 9 is a really nice ride with new hot top from Bennington across the State to Brattleboro. Done that many times over the years. Dave!!!

Wife and I cruised that neighborhood a couple times after the flooding - that was Irene, wasn't it?.
Incredible washouts - entire hillsides missing, whole chunks of road washed out, bridges blown out. Jaw-dropping rides.
More impressive than the damage was the repair! Roads and bridges replaced, rivers re-routed, amazing. All in a a few weeks time. Though I think there are still some washouts in the woods --

We're spread pretty thin up here, but from me, I can get it down to PA or out to Western NY to hand off to a couple other Triumph rallies. I forget who, but someone's headed to PA from the West Coast in June!.
Either way, I'm registered for the Bennington Bash. Looking forward to meeting up w/ some 'Birders.

Looking forward to seeing you in VT. I'll be doing another cross country trip this year. If I can help with advancing the baton, someone just let me know how.

It's not only the gators and snakes; we also have some very large lizards that come right up on the sidewalk. They are also in the street and you really don't want to hit one of these.
