    Hi, thanks for adding me to the site, newbie here but not to motorcycling. Got my licence in 1965 and rode a number of machines including a 500cc Speed Twin to the south of France in 1967.
    My current Triumphs are a 1971 Tiger TR6R and a 2014 air cooled T100 Bonneville. The Bonny gets so many comments when I stop anywhere, mainly from people of my generation who think that it's a very well preserved classic! Love the Bonneville, just so easy to ride and enough power for todays crowded, (before lockdown), roads. I'm the Chair of the Peterborough TOMCC and really enjoy that role.
    Other bikes are: 1968/9 Norton Commando Fastback. 1971 Honda CB750 K1, 1995 Honda Goldwing 1500, 2005 Benelli Tornado 900 and a 2008 Moto Guzzi Norge. Love them all for their different personalities and capabilities but the Bonny is my "go to" for my summer rides.

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Steve! As others have said, what a great collection of bikes you have. Do you still own all of those you listed? If so I'd LOVE to see photos our other bikes and of your garage, too. It must be like an airplane hangar! Your Bonnie in the photo is a beauty. :):heart:
