    hi all, just waiting for my first Triumph to go through the workshop for its mot and pdi. Been riding bikes, since the 1970's, got a kawasaki on the road, another in bits as well as a parked up suzuki, but always wnated a bonny so thought before my wrists go etc I get one. The riding position on the bonny is much better on my wrists so happy days

    Welcome to the family. You will have to drop the inmates a picture of the steed well after you stop playing with it and get that great grin under control. As here in the asylum we feed on pictures and nursey recommends pictures as she get a rest as we ogle.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.
    Joe.

    thanks for the welcome all.

    I have posted a couple of pics in the bonny pics thread but again here it is, it is a 2007 bonneville, with some mods on it, it was on ebay but was in a dealer local to me, and I was able to get quite a bit off the list price, plus it comes with a full service, brand new mot and any other issues sorted as needed, as a well as 3 months warranty. Just gotta wait a few days for it to go thru the workshop and then it is mine

    thanks all for the welcome.

    as someone commented, I live in west wales and the biking roads are superb, looking forward to getting the bonny out and about on the twisties.
