Breaking News:
The Triumph Thunderbird 900 featured on this blog is going to be listed for sale.
This stunning bike with only 6800 miles recorded and one previous owner, is regretfully going to be sold.
As soon as the URL (for the listing) is available, I will add it here. It will probably be listed on eBay to start with.
If you wish to express an interest, please leave me a comment.

Triumph Thunderbird gets the ‘Light Painting’ treatment.
The above picture was taken using the increasingly popular Light Painting technique where the image is photographed using multiple exposures before it is layered and blended during the editing stage.

Triumph Thunderbird at the sea side

Here is a photograph of a Triumph Thunderbird 900 photographed at Paignton harbour in Devon. The colourful sea side background is contrasted by the powerful cloudy grey skies and that almost compliments the maroon and silver two tone pain scheme on this bike?
This 2001 model is a lovely example of why these Hinckly build Triumph’s are still enjoying such popularity amongst Triumph enthusiasts.

Close up photograph showing the tank badge from a Triumph Thunderbird 900.
This retro style ‘mouth organ’ tank badge was intended to evoke a sense of nostalgia associated with the Triumph brand.
Triumph Thunderbird at Greenway House

This photograph shows my Triumph Thunderbird 900 looking very regal outside of Greenway House, near Galmpton. The cream walls of the famous building show the bikes features off quite nicely. Greenway Houses’ claim to fame is that it was at one time the home of Agatha Christie, but is now owned by the National Trust.

I thought you might be interested to see the breakdown of visitors to this blog by order of country.
I knew the Triumph Thunderbird Sport was a popular bike in the States, Australia and France; but these figures show a much wider interest. Although not included on the screen shot of Triumph Thunderbird Sport viewing stats, the Czech Republic, Japan and India are all scoring over 30 views (since the blog was launched).
But it goes much wider then that, the full list now sets out over 7,000 visitor viewing stats from another 41 counties around the world, showing strong global interest in the Triumph brand.
