    Hello,

    My 28 years old son recently told me that he wanted to learn to ride so that he could ride a Bonneville. I've been riding adventure bikes for the last 15 years, so at first I was supportive of his wanting to learn, and his choice of a bike, but not that interested in his bike choice myself. We went to a dealer and had a look at some bikes, and I began to be a bit more interested. I'm not even sure I would have registered a Bonneville in the wild before that visit. Then, a few weeks ago, I saw a dealer had an unregistered blue and white T120 for sale, with a bunch of accessories included at a great price, so, I decided to get the bike and outfit it for riding with my wife. This morning the bike was delivered to me, and I'm now completely smitten. What a beautiful thing it is, especially when you see it in person. As a child of the 70's, it makes me feel young again, especially with the 'sissy bar'. Attached is a picture of the bike at the dealership. (If I figured out how to attach pictures...)

    Ride safe,

    Robert
