Hi all, purchased this 2003 T100 custom three years ago for my daughter. She took a low speed fall( road rash in cowl) and got spooked and stopped riding so I recently took it back. Looking forward to splitting my time in it from BMW R1100R custom.
Well. bright and early this morning my door went and it was my beautiful Hinckley built '01 Bonnie arriving a day early. The bike is gorgeous and the Union Jacks on the tank really make her a stand out machine! I don't know if they are airbrushed on or some form of decal but they look superb. The bike came with a Norman Hyde Toga exhaust and all receipts detailing how the carb jets were changed and adjusted until she was running spot on with it. The roar out of the pipes is superb and, when I sat on her and pulled away for a run it felt like coming home. This is one brilliant bike!
Nice one Marty, she is a fine looking machine with a lovely colour, great bike and great roads enjoy and take care mate.
Hi All it's ages since I last posted but here's the most recent photo of my Bonnie. Changes so far have been silencers, mudguards, grab rail, handlebars, mirrors, indicators, rear light, chain guard, sprocket cover, footpegs, brake pedal, gear lever, shocks and various other little odds and ends. I can't say this is how it looks now though as I've changed the bars again! Next bits to do are upgrade the fork internals and fit a 2 into 1 stainless pipe.
Thanks @MadMrB The mountain views are from the side of Beinn an Lochain at the top of the B828 (The single track road out of my village) just before it goes down to join the A83 at the top of the Rest and Be Thankful. The view with the monument is down the Dunoon road at the village of Strachur on the side of Loch Fyne. The monument is a memorial to two men who died in the Boer War. One at Magersfontein and one at Spion Kop.
Wow, lovely countryside, I bet it's super quiet on the roads too. I want to do a tour, never been north of Dumfries/Kielder
Well it was quiet on the roads, very quiet, delightfully quiet, superbly quiet, during lockdown but now I think people are making up for lost time and getting out and about so the roads are a lot busier although that is still nowhere near as busy as you'll find elsewhere.
Some pics of my new 2014 Cream and Gold bonnie that has joined her stablemate my '01 Union Jack accented Green and Silver Bonnie.
I think the colour scheme definitely has an 'olde worlde' feel to it that goes very well with the image and style of the bike. Only problem is it has to be kept clean! Already had bird crap on the front mudguard and I have no idea how the bird managed it as the bike was under a cover since it was delivered!
was going to say those white walls have "nailed" the looks, but did not think that was appropriate when talking about tyres. "Smashed it" did not seem appropriate either. ...your bike is looking very very nice
