Newbie from Iowa

I have been a part of the Triumph family for almost a week now and so far I love my Trophy SE. I am a high school/college science teacher in a really small school in northern Iowa, USA who likes to run marathons and travel the country by motorcycle. For the last several years I have been riding Yamaha Ventures dating from 1983-1991 models. I still have a 1987 Venture but am trying to sell it. I am so excited to have a Triumph finally. When I was 18 and still in USAF Tech school in Illinois I wanted to buy a newly repossessed Triumph Bonneville but I didn't have any money. It has been a long time but I now have my Triumph. Look forward to many years with it.
This summer I rode my 1991 Yamaha to all of the lower 48 states on a quest for the best barb-b-Que in the country. 13,000+ miles but it was time to trade her off for a Trophy.

That's a long wait for you first Triumph, but I hope you enjoy it as much as you deserve too after such patience!
Photos always welcome

This is my Smoke Chasing 2013 map riding my not so always dependable '91 Yamaha Venture. I can't wait to do some long distance riding on my Trophy.
