    Hello fellow Triumph Bonnie owners.
    I owned my 2005 Opal & Tangerine T100 for 10 years and rode about 43K on it. I loved that bike but I had a hankering for a T120 and this week I collected a 2019 model. Like everyone else I immediately swapped a few components. My dart flyscreen from the T100 fitted right over, I'd picked up a really nice pair of Triumph chrome oval mirrors in a sale for just £25 and they look great I think. You have to move your elbows in for a decent view but I don't mind that. As soon as the rain stops I'm going to fit these Motone pannier rails as I like to use saddlebags. On that note my trusty 1970's 'Swagman' bags have done the job for the last 8 years or so, am thinking about a higher end upgrade in that department though. I've hardly had a chance to ride more than a few miles so far but I really love how this bike feels. The heated grips got used on the way back from the dealer. I also tried out the cruise control that I had fitted, that seems an excellent development for me. Very much looking forward to a decent run out soon.

    Hello Nobby and welcome to the forum :)

    Nice looking T120 you have there, the tank badge give the bike a touch of class.
