Hi all, I’m a new member to the forum and, Triumph ownership. I bought a 2013 lunar silver mag wheel bonnie about three weeks ago, and am really loving it! I’d post a picture, but would you believe I’ve not taken a single one? I’ve been too busy riding / cleaning it Andy
Andy Welcome to the Family. Got all the best patients here and the medication isn't bad either. Nursey comes round regular. Especially when a patron forgets to post a picture. We start to shake and fall of our walking sticks with anticipation. Ride Safe Joe.
Thanks for the very warm welcome, guys! I promise to post up some pics as soon as I’ve received my Motone and TEC bike parts orders - I just couldn’t help myself Do any of you guys have the TEC sprint, 2 - 2 exhaust fitted? I really like the look of it, although I’d have it ceramic coated black - I’m just worried it’s too much of hooligan, sound wise. I have the Arrow 2-1 on mine - which I like - but I really like the twin pipe look, while still leaving access for chain adjustment.
Hi and welcome dirty, I also like the twin pipes as it stands out against the 2-1 and gives a clean look from both sides on a bonnie. Looking forward to some pix
Hi, welcome to the site, I'm new here too, everyone here are great and very helpful. Can't wait to see pics of your bike.
Hi, thanks for the pics, that is one lovely bike you have and I think the exhaust suits the bike. Bet it sounds nice too.
Hi Dirty Habitz, I'm a new guy as well but not yet got the bike. Hope to pick it up the 60th anniversary one on 1st March 2019. I notice we are both in Romford, Hope to see you one the road at some point. Bonnie Pie
Hi Phil, Where are you buying the 60th anni from? A very close friend and riding partner has been using Ongar Motorcycles for many years and highly recommends them - even though East London Triumph is our local dealer (was Jack Lilly). I popped into ELT for a nose about a few weeks ago and even though I was the only ‘potential customer’ in the building, not one staff member acknowledged me. But when I popped into OM’s I was offered a friendly hello and tea or coffee with minutes of being there. Good luck with 60th either way, and maybe we’ll meet up for coffee and a chat sometime.. Andy.
I will probably use ELT as I have bought my previous three bikes from them. Your experience is the complete opposite to mine. Ongar Motorcycles annoyed me a bit when I wanted to buy a Daytona 685. The salesman insisted I was "too old to ride a Sportbike". I laughed it off at first but he said it half a dozen times and eventually I told him where to go. I eventually bought the Daytoms from what was then North City Triumph, Chigwell, which moved to Romford and changed their name to Jack Lilly and now East London Triumph. A few years ago I did write to the boss in Romford complaining about their service. He invited me in for a chat and since then I think they have improved immensely. ELT offer me everything I need, including a cup of coffee and salesman Steve always greets me and my wife (he knows she has the money) by our first names. I will probably go to the Carole Nash show at Excel to have a look at the bike if ELT don't get a model in. It was a toss up between the Bonnie and Thruxton R. I think it will be the Bonnie as I'm "too old" for a sportbike. Bonnie Phil
