I'd been (and still am) fussing with BSAs since 1975, but I now wanted something 1)I could get on, press the button and ride with great reliability 2) was unlike most of the other bikes I see on the street - has some personality 3) was UK made. I went to the Triumph dealer in 2001 to look at new bikes, but the first bike I spotted was a traded-in CAR '96 Sprint w/6K miles on the clock. It was love at first sight. Funny - when I took it for a test ride took me a bit to figure out all those buttons - lots more than my vintage BI. Since, have added an '05 Bonnie to the stable - the first brand-new bike I've bought in more than 30 years of riding.
