| | Posted : 16 Nov 2010 - 18:08 Post title : Triumph magazine | | | A couple of good articles on the TBird in this months Triumph mag. Trying to find them on the interweb but dont seem to be posted yet. A nice silver bird with mono-shock and scalopped tank, shortened fenders and a 250 back tyre on an 18'' rim.
I used to get this e-mailed but now its in paper copy.
Anyone got it e-mailed.

I have had the 'Bird for over a year now and the magazine keeps coming. To get the magazine you need to register with Triumph themselves as RAT are separate. If you own a Triumph you can get one (I think that is how it works).
Anyway - the Triumph magazine was a good read particularly liked the Thunderbirds v NYC and JJ Burnel articles.

Thanks much for this link. When I bought my Bird, the dealer told me the would give me a subscription to this mag. They also told me they were going to give me a gift certificate to be used for whatever. Neither of those things have ever appeared. No big deal, I figured they were a little pissy because they tried to sell me an extended warranty 3 times and I politely refused 3 times, (I have no desire to start a thread on extended warranties, I just don't like them and don't buy them). Anyhow, I'ved enjoyed reading the magazine online.

This just reminded me that I'm SURE I signed up for the mag on RAT and have NEVER got one! Gonna have to look into this.
By the way, I like some of the details of those custom 'Birds and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of it... especially when Alain finishes his Coffee 'Bird.

Well I would have chosen the new tigger, but having seen the red and white Thruxton at my dealer, I have now changed my mind on a stable mate for the Bird. Also got me salivating was watching the whole series of Cafe Racer on the tv. Gotta build myself one of those. Its a chance to have a classic looking race bike and not have to join rank with the insect looking riders with their sport bikes.

Today, after being gone on a short trip, I discovered in my mail the latest issue of the magazine. So must say if you need to eat your words, do so, andI hereby do. I didn't mention my dealers name in my post , and don't know if they monitor this but I'll send them a seperate e-mail . I can just hear some of you in other parts of the world saying "goddamn yanks are so impatient!". I guess it's true.

you would be out on it once and never again. had one in silver for a season and that was a season too long.
