Our shop (Triumph of Seattle) is hosting the new Bonneville unveiling. My boss did a rolling burnout into the party on the new Bobber. Now, the problem. How do I fit it into the garage next to the Thunderbird? Sorry no pics - phone decided to run out of juice early in the evening.
Kind of, actually. This is where it was held, the Georgetown Ballroom:
I received an invitation to the event, but passed. It wasn't my kind of bike to begin with, and that cringe-worthy marketing campaign that the above (hilarious!) vid critiques certainly didn't help matters...
Urmmm, I'm a little worried now. You see I have a Thruxton R, I've taken it to a few motorcycle cafes and hangouts and have had a feeling that I haven't been able to put my finger on. It felt like I was trying too hard, but that wasn't it. Maybe I was being a little fake, well yes but no, that wasn't it either. Now I know, I think I look like a yuppie, or feel like a yuppie, or even it is that I am a yuppie. Oh Poo.
I certainly won't claim it's for everyone (The Thruxton's an awesome bike, but it just doesn't work for me), but I like the way it looks. And it's just fun to have Triumph let the tires get burnt on their demonstrator.
ya know what I like about the Bobber?.............NOTHING. I don't like bobbers, no matter who makes it, but that's just me. I'm sure someone will like it.
