Nice and sounds like me.
40 years, out last night after a good rest sleep. Took a while to even out but finally got in the groove

Very nice CB @Joberwocky . Not surprised at all she behaved impeccably, surely didn’t want to let down that beautiful leather jacket.

[Joberwocky]

Thanks on both accounts @motojobobo 

My leather jacket is a Collab between Vanson and Union Garage and is still stiff as all get out (it's also armored).  Sure sweating in it through the warmer weather that's "finally" made it's way to Annapolis will help fix that

Ought to be picking up a Triumph Street Scrambler on Tuesday, super excited

Nice! A new, 2022 model?

[Joberwocky]

Yeah.  As much as I've had a more love than hate relationship with my CB, I rode it to work on Wednesday and it left me high and dry on the side of the road because of battery charging issues.  Had to walk it down the side of a major road and get to a nearby parking lot, then walk 40+ minutes home to get my spare battery and car to ride back and make the swap.  Decided reliability is the one thing keeping me from riding more often, and there's a Triumph dealer about a minute from where I work.  Nevermind my wife will be a little more comfortable with the idea of me riding a motorcycle if it has more technology (like ABS) than my wristwatch 
The nighthawk has served me well for 5 years, but a daily rider it is not.

That’s pure sex.  Congratulations.

Love Triumphs,especially The Bonneville.

[Dmart]

I like the Triumphs as well, in general, I like the Cafe Racer style.
But you keep the CB, or are you selling the old lady (The bike, not the wife haha).

looking forward to pictures.

If they make me a good offer when I go tomorrow I'll probably trade the CB, while I got it originally for a song and a dance and it's fairly cheap to own, apartment living makes it tough to justify owning two motorcycles 

[motojobobo]

I’m ready to see the Scrambler you pick tomorrow @Joberwocky . I have a shared one (2006) with my brother and find it a good bike for around town, quick and short shopping, and 1-day trips out of town. Ours has been 100% trouble free so far!

[Joberwocky]

Today is a good day

Very Nice! Congratulations! Check out www.metroracing.com for really cool vintage Triumph t-shirts.

[Joberwocky]

I'll for sure need to take a look

@Joberwocky Jason, sincerest congratulations on a sweet new ride!  Stay safe, keep the shiny side up, and watch out for cagers!

[Joberwocky]

Much appreciated @goosehd
It's got a 10k mile first service interval, guess it's my job to push to get there haha
