Looking good Nikki! Weather didn't look too special for the next few days (not that it is any better here) but I'm sure you will be out on her soon enough!
Just managed to sneak 3/4 hour worth of riding in this morning, before having to dash back home again before the next lot of rain. Got her back in the garage and 10mins later the heavens opened up and three hours later its still raining. I've only got 100kms on her so far which is truly pathetic. Loving the bike though.
We've had the same weather here so nowt lost on that matter. When was the last time you walked away from the bike just to give it a second glance?? Bet it wasn't on the trophy?
Yep you're right. I keep popping into the garage to admire the Bonnie. Never did it with the Trophy. To me, as an old school biker, the Bonnie is the archetypal motorbike, it just looks so completely right and reminds me of my first big bike (1981 Suzuki GS550E).
Hell fire I remember those. They became one of my least favourite bikes as I ran one a few times. Nearly as fast as a wet dream!! But yes back to the bonneville, it's a beautiful piece of art that rides like it looks!
Oh I loved mine. Rode it from Leeds to Venice via several stops in the German Democratic Republik. It held such great memories that about 12 years ago I bought it's big brother a 1979 GS750E, which is sitting in my garage now, roadworthy, insured and ready to go.
You can always get a tiny little German cousin for it.... an 'MZ'ling. Sat side by side. They could kiss and cuddle each other whilst waiting to be thraped!!
Hello Nikki, just catching up on a few threads and noticed you've now taken delivery of your new bike - a T120 in BLACK. Perfect bike in the perfect colour - you are indeed a very lucky girl. PS I'm as jealous as a jealous thing on Jealous Day 2017. Note to self - need to get another Bonny.
Well this thread got me thinking so this morning off I went to Newcastle Triumph and have booked a test ride on a T120 for Friday at 10am Gonna be a problem financially if I like it more than my speedmaster
I think you'll love it. But I like your Speedmaster too. It sounds great (especially with the fuse in place
Can't imagine you riding stealth, see if you can get some complimentary air horns that won't turn off in on the deal??!!
