Hi mate,
I remember the bonnies of the late 60s and seventies and they were always the ultimate bike! Although I owned several bikes over the past 35 odd years (including a BSA gold flash) I finally had my dream come true when i bought my T100. You know, it's even better then I ever dreamed it would be.
Now regarding uploading pics...I notice you already have photobucket which makes it VERY easy. Under each photo you have uploaded onto photobucket you will see four links. the top one is email & IM etc...Use the bottom link labelled "IMG code". left click on it to highlight it blue and then right click on the highlighted link and click "copy". Then all you do is get onto your forum reply box click and paste the link. It will display [IMG]then the code and then[/IMG]
When you hit SUBMIT, the message will have your photo on it..full size.
Goodluck.

Thanks Hans,

I'm glad the answer wasn't a snake as it would have bit me.

Cheers

I am a returning rider after a fairly long break. Used to ride Hondas, Suzukis, a Lambretta and a Beemer but could only fantasize about the Bonnevilles. Love this bike!

Are most of the Classic Twin riders older folks like myself who remember when?

A few cell phone pictures from my ride today below, if I do this right.

Thanks for the very informative forum. You all seem to have a lot of fun.

Congratulations. That silver Bonneville is a great looking ride! Have a great time with your new machine!

Got a break in the rain today and ran up a quick 100 miles

Since she had over 200 miles on her I thought she could run up to speed a little. First time on the Superslab!

4K RPM at 70 mph, a few excursions to 75 & 80 mph (still breaking her in) and she rode like she was on rails.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I love this bike!

More rain forecast for tomorrow, but at least I got a fix in today.

Congradulations on the new bike! Only had mine for a coule of weeks myself. I'm a little young myself to have any memories of the O.G. Bonnies but I remember the first one I saw, it was parked outside of blockbuster. I think I stared at it for a good ten minutes before my wife smacked me back into reality.
