I used it in the UK both as a solo, and with various sidecars for winter use. This was a competent machine and less troublesome with the new unit-construction engine, it was also less vibration prone than earlier models, in fact I would say it was "smooth". I'm 71 years young now and only wish I could find one in good condition. The Thunderbird name and that bike have always been with me, and if you have one - envy, envy, envy!
