    I bought my 2010 Bonneville T100 in March this year, just one weekend before my country was placed in total lock-down for seven weeks to beat COVID-19. We all had to stay home or risk arrest if we were out for anything other than groceries or doctor visit.
    So I spent lots of time cleaning, adjusting, lubricating etc and then when lock-down ended, winter arrived at this end of the world . . . aaargh! T100 front Cook Strait.jpg In the past few weeks though I've managed a few hours of riding on the bike. It is great fun and better looking than most of my previous machines.
    Now I just need to do a little bit of re-mapping to get rid of the low-speed snatchiness and it will be close to perfect.

    Hi Angus and welcome to the forum :cool: from a fellow kiwi. Lockdown was the bane of most riders and fishers with 5 weeks of perfect weather.
    Good looking ride, enjoy
