    Hi everyone,

    My wife and I went into Triumphworld at Chesterfield today thinking I would be ordering a Bonneville Speedmaster but came away with our hearts now set on the T120 Black though I will be watching the comparison videos versus the StreetTwin/SpeedTwin.

    This will be our return to biking after a 16 year break and will be sat on a trailer on the back of our campervan for tours over the UK and a lot further afield as we are setting ourselves up for early retirement in 2 years time.

    It is amazing how technology in bikes and kit has moved since my last bike (2004 Tuono), the next thing on the list is helmets and what style and also comms so the wife can have a chat!!!!!!

    Anyway - good evening all!
    Jon

    Hi and welcome; that sounds like a great plan. @Helmut Visor and I don't have comms though; he reckons he has to listen to me enough at home - never mind on his bikes!! :laughing:.

    Welcome to the family. Sounds like a great plan to me. Do keep us all in the know about the bike and what you eventually choose.
