    G'day everyone

    This is my first post on the forum - I have a '98 Trophy 1200 and working on getting a new Bonneville if I can get it past the Minister of Finance ;)

    I have been riding Triumph's since 1975 and they are a fantastic brand of motorcycle.

    Anyway great to be a part of the forum

    Cheers
    Gary

    Welcome in. The Trophies are great bikes,comfortable, fast and solid workhorses. The Bonnies, well there are loads of em in here so you will always be able to pick someone's brains and find some bling to add to her. If of course you manage to get your finances passed by the management.lol.

    Hey Gary, welcome aboard and best of luck with your budget submission. In support I have two Bonnies and can vouchsafe for their long term grin factor. You can quote me.

    welcome in Gary, I'm sure you can persuade your manager of finance but that's going to cost you as well,
    but look on it as buying a small worm to catch your massive fish. :D

    I had a 2007 Bonneville previously but I sold it to get a BMW R1200RT ( yes I know..........:confused:) and I got my Trophy for a great price - loving it. Great bike

    I will post some pics when I work out how to

    Cheers again

    cheers guys

    yes its the 'torquise'color - only offered in the 1998 model so its a bit rare I suppose
    but it does look really nice 'in the flesh' so to speak
