Default My new-ish bike

Just bought an '04 Triumph Thruxton, with 3K miles. It's been well maintained and as I understand it, was the first Thruxton in Florida.
I really like it, it certainly has style. I've always liked the cafe racers from the 60's and this has that kind of look to it. I know it's not really the type of bikes most of you have that post here, but it's what I like.
Sort of yesterday's sport bike.
I took a rider's course and have my endorsement now, and i've been taking it pretty easy around the neighborhood until I feel more confident with it, as this is my first bike.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

a previous owner drilled out the mufflers, I'm getting aftermarket ones anyway.
