    Hello, fellow Triumph enthusiasts! I'm pleased to have found this wondeful forum and be accepted as a member.

    I purchased a matte black T100 in 2022, as a first motorcycle. I've wanted to own a Bonneville since I was a teenager simply because they look so cool, and now I do! My bike is a dream to ride and I get compliments more often than I could have imagined.

    Now it's time to dig into the forum, learn a few things and make some new friends.

    Take care!

    Here are a few photos I took of my Bonnie today during a beautiful ride to have some lunch.

    Is that a greenish hue to the tank paint? I like the look when it is not all black! Is that exhaust stock, or slightly louder?

    I'd call it "matte gray". It really is a pretty contrast from the matte black of the rest of the bike. The exhaust is stock. I haven't made any changes to the bike and plan to keep it all original.
    Quick sidebar: When I went to the Triumph dealership in 2022, this was the only new T100 they had for sale (due to Covid backlogs) and I didn't realize it was a 2020 until we were reviewing the sales paperwork. A year after my purchase they still did not have any new T100's in stock. I'm glad I purchased when I did.
