    Hello ladies and gentlemen. New to the forum. New to Triumph.
    I got myself a T100 Bonnie named Brenda. She's an SE white and blue. March 15 plate. I like her.

    This is Brenda and her stablemate Fluffy. I picked white bikes for the crayon users.

    Sweet rides bloke stoke. Is that a Suzuki Bandit I see back there? I've heard those are masterful machines, well balanced with tons of luxurious torque. The Bonnie complements her nicely.

    And when you say "kettle", do you mean a 2 stroke bike? Sorry, my English isn't that hot.

    The bike in the background is a GSX1400se. The kettle at the back of my garage in bits, as Wayne says, is a GT750a two stroke triple. It got run over by a stolen car years ago and bent lots of bits. Now I'm in a position to get her back.

    Hi and welcome to the forum - nice bikes and obviously mostly the right colour despite what some people (who don't own a Triumph) might say!

    Ah, makes sense. Kettle as in heating warm water plus kettle as in a pot used to make popcorn. Two strokes kinda sound like that idling. Cool deal, best of luck on getting your kettle going. I just (mostly) finished up putting a '79 RD400F back together. That GSX must be a beast, love the color scheme too.
