New horse in my stable ...

Postby Hlop on Sat Jun 24, 2006 2:39 pm

Hi All!


Just wanted to share ... After the accident in the middle of March (I've told you about it), when my previous bike has been completely destroyed and written off, I finally got myself together (as some members suggested - don't let otheres to talk you off riding!) and got a new motorcycle.

Here she is - Triumph Bonneville America

Mikhail, nice ride.

I'm trying to save for something very similar and have been looking at the Bonnie... I've just got to stop buying photo gear to afford it :D

Thanks guys! I'm enjoying this bike - it's really good machine. Especially after I've changed exhaust pipes and rejetted the engine it has nice bubbling and popping sound.


Ra, It's 790 cc but she has much better performance than my previous 800cc Suzuki Volusia - starting really well from traffic lights :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
