Hey All,
I just wanted to say hello here (is there a protocol?). I just registered today, I got my Bonnie T100 only a month ago, and oh, hell yeah, it's changed the way I look at things. Even on a really bad day, riding to school to teach experimental theater, everything just locks into place, and the hum of the motor just so, so elegant, and fast, too, hot diggity dog.
I rode it to Los Angeles a couple weeks back to test it out (ha ha), and had the time of my life, met someone new at every gas station, and it's made me more friendly. Jeez, this sounds like a self-help forum, don't mean to sound so fricken bubbly, but the retro look, and the style and thought they put into these machines...I understand what you are talking about. And I love it when I'm pulling into a parking lot, and some guy who looks like he's been listening to Dylan since Highway 61 comes over with a jaw dropped and asks, "What year is that? The motor even sounds the same."
Nice.
Good riding to all.

Chris,
Welcome to the forum and Triumphdom.

Isn't great NOT being one of the flock.

I hope you aren't offended by sheep jokes. :razz:

great isnt it

I bought my Thruxton out of state and had to get it inspected by our local motor registration dept. to get it on the road. I had only done 15km on it. As the inspector approached the bike he asked "what year is it"?

The first of many!
