    I will understand if you all find this a bit lame, but today is a sad day for me, because Bonny has just left home with her new owner.

    I know it was my choice, but she has been part of me for 4 years now and I know I'm going to miss her.

    She's gone to a younger Parisian chap who is a real Triumph fan so hopefully he will get as much pleasure from her as I've had.

    This obviously means I am no longer the owner of a Triumph - can I still come on here? I've met some great people as a result of this forum and I wouldn't want to lose touch.

    Cheers, blubbingly

    Dave

    At least she's gone to a good home.
    Time to move on and have some new experiences with the new one.
    I'm sure nobody will kick you off here or take the piss for not having Triumph....honest

    Thanks guys, just got back from a ride out on the new boy and feeling a bit better. The worst was listening to Bonny being ridden away.:(

    The best bit was putting the bank cheque into my account ;);)

    Going for a 700kms round trip down sarf to see my sister for a couple of days.

    Up to now the KTM forum I've found seems...................... a bit reserved, by comparison to here.

    Hey Ho Biggy, you must have kept something from Bonny, Anyways although your piss taking won't be relevant anymore I'm sure no one will have any objections if you come on and try!!

    Don't worry Eric I'll be back Friday night. We will do the shopping on Monday or Tuesday so if there's anything special you would like,just let me know. Escargots for instance?

    Sorry the Bonnie had to go Dave but that's no reason for you to disappear off the forum - you are, after all a "well known member"!
    It just wouldn't be the same without you.
