  1. HI from Massachusetts, USA. I've been a Triumph fan for years and I'm happy to say I'm now the proud owner of a 2018 T120 in competition green/fusion white. To my eye it is the prettiest Bonneville color.
    I've owned quite a few bikes over the years but this is my first Triumph. I usually make my buying descions based on practical things like reliablity, price, performance, etc. But I must admit that I bought this bike mainly because I think it's absolutely beautiful. Also, because most people around here ride Harleys and I didn't want to be one of the flock.
    Anyway, I couldn't be happier and I can't wait to take delivery and start riding!

  15. I finally picked up my new bike! After a 2500 mile round trip from Massachusetts to Iowa and back my 2018 T-120 in Competition Green/Fusion White is home. Now the customization fun begins. I'm ordering a decat x-pipe and some bar-end mirrors from Tec. Next will be some mini LED indicators, and probably a fly screen. If I have any money left I may add some panniers.
    I love the look of the Triumph leather panniers, but I'm hoping to find something a bit less expensive.
    Anyway, it feels great to be on the road again, especially on such a beautiful bike. I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how. I'm technologically unsophisticated. I'm surprised I figured out how to join this forum!

    Looking forward to those pics - just hit the "upload a file" button underneath the box at the bottom of the page, find the file on your device, select it and click "upload full image". That should do it.
