My dad is officially a Triumph owner

[Boosted Thrills]

We surprised him with a new Triumph America as a Christmas gift and he had no clue it was coming. One of the first things he thought of was how he'll fit in on his own bike at the bash instead of having to ride his Honda. Video below.

What a good son you are! But....................(you KNEW it was coming) why not the Thunderbird he rode last year? ha ha

Hey I just found the bike and taunted him, my mom wanted to buy it as the surprise!

He loved the Thunderbird but felt it was a bit big for him (and more than he wanted to spend) to use on a daily basis. Even moving the America around the garage, he commented on how much better the center of gravity was than his old Shadow Sabre.

That was a great video...well done Jeff...

Perfect. I liked your Dad's comment that now he can go to Bennington and not stick out like a sore thumb.

Awesome, Jeff!

It doesn't get much better then that Jeff.
Just the smile on his face was worth it.
I am looking forward to seeing you guys.
Hopefully all this snow will be gone by then.

Thanks everyone!

I was just over at their house on Sunday installing a big box of accessories with him, it's been pretty awesome and he hasn't even ridden the thing yet.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
