New Motorcycle Day
I've wanted a Triumph for too many years and took a ride to the dealer Saturday to look at the Speed Twin. They had just gotten a T120 Diamond, 60th anniversary model in and I made it mine.

You'll love the Triumph; I have a 54 year addiction to them. Here's one of my 19 Trumpets (because 20 would be crazy) It's a 2009 50th Anniversary T100 Bonneville - #327 of 650 produced.
ATGATT please.

Nice looking machine. Good on you! I hope you enjoy many, many rides on it. I miss my motorcycle...

The new triumphs are fantastic bikes. Mine has become my primary mode of transportation.

One day I’m going to get a Bonnie or a Scrambler. They are truly iconic motorcycles.

Gorgeous! Always loved the "sausage" mufflers.

My first ever rides on a motorcycle were on the back of a Triumph Bonneville 650. He was a neighbor and took me for several rides. Loved it.

A modern classic. Are all Triumphs carbureted?

I have a 96 Triumph Adventurer, but just found out I am out of commission for the rest of the season, blown head gasket, I have put on over 70,000 miles on it myself. I am looking for a backup. I love the look of them. I'm really interested in the Thruxton. Everyone that has driven my bike is impressed with how agile & zippy she is.

At 350# less than my Indian the Bonneville's a lot more fun to ride. It doesn't have the armchair comfort of the Indian but I think I'm gonna love this bike. This one's #623 of 900

Which Indian do you have? I've got an 01 Scout in my garage. IIRC it's about 600-650lbs wet. Torquey v-twin, but the Triumph looks like a blast.
Congrats.
