    Hi,

    I am new to these forums in general.

    I bought a 2014 Triumph Bonneville July 2020. I've wanted one since I started learning to ride and I finally treated myself with one this last year during the pandemic.

    I've had a lot of fun riding it. I've also had some issues with it which after reading the forum I've come to realize I'm not alone in these issues. Battery recharging issues mainly.

    I own two other bikes, 1981 Yamaha250Sr (my first bike) and a 2004 Harley Sportster.
    I've dabbled in off-road biking, flat-track riding...so far love everything I've tried on any 2 wheels.

    This wet winter, I'm planning to work on my bike and decipher the wiring diagrams from my motorcycle manual.

    Looking forward to riding more!

    Thanks

    Welcome Relda ! from the desert of NW Arizona. I applaud your choice of the America. I ride an '05 version. Having owned a '69 Bonneville many years ago, I would offer that the standard B'Ville may be better handling, but the America version better looking ! Be Positive, Test Negative !!
