    53 years old, fourth bike, first Triumph - 2022 T120 Bonneville Black Goldline. Bought this as a "leaving the military" present to myself, despite still having a couple of years to do and not having the bonus money yet! I'd been watching the local market for post-'21 T120's for a few months and when this came up I jumped at it. At the moment I've done nothing to it - this is exactly as it came, and pretty much all the mods are ones I would have ended up getting. Coming from 600cc bike this is an absolute dream and I'm looking forward to some hella-long tours on it.
    Looking forward to exploring the forums and getting amongst it!

    Thanks for the warm welcome! It pains me to say it, but I'm going to have to start one of those "help me get my bike working again threads later tonight I think - only three years old, only had it a month and it's died on me already! :sob: I'll check guidelines before I post though, I'm sure those posts are the bane of everyone's life...

    If you are at the bar, I'll have a pint of creme de menthe frappe, easy on the frappe.

    You're gonna love that triumph ribbed after market saddle - I've got one just like it and it has saved my ass many times (rim shot please). Good looking too, the previous owner did you a solid on that one!

    Thanks! Yeah I was watching the market for a couple of months, I knew I wanted a Black but was also conscious of what mods/extras get added to the 1200CC Bonnies, so was fairly open minded. Then this thing turned up right as I was about to buy a completely different model - I wasn't even aware of Goldline until I saw it! Looked at the extras and the price and just had to go for it.
