    Hy everybody.

    My name is Ernesto and I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. I've been a biker since I was young and for many years I've been traveling with custom motorcycles (HD's). But with advancing age I started to look at lighter bikes with different eyes (and also the trips are now longless). I'm buying a Bonneville T120, but it hasn't arrived yet. For now it's just pure anxiety.

    Greetings everyone.

    Welcome from the Northern Hemisphere!

    I went through the same thing myself. Got off my 800 lb. Victory cruiser and bought a Bonneville Speedmaster. I feel like a kid again (at 70 years old). Flipping that little bike around is motorcycling fun again!

    Greetings (though rather belated), @Ernesto, and welcome to the forum. Enjoy the anticipation of that new bike and enjoy the bike itself when it arrives! Please share some photos of your T120 when you take it home. :)

    Welcome Ernesto. I have many colleagues from Brazil, but have not had the pleasure of visiting yet. I'm also a previous HD rider. Congrats on your new ride.
