My Bonnie has arrived

Got the call tonight ( Friday) that my green and white 2010 T100 had arrived,...and was asked when on Saturday I would like to see it uncrated.

Got to admit,..took me back a bit.

So I will get some photos of the grand unveiling. May not seem like a big deal to some, but to me it is a huge personal moment. I can't wait.

My sister will be with me (taking pictures). My sister saved my life one year ago by donating one of her kidneys

To be in this place right now is amazing. How ironic the name on the bike is Triumph

Congrats on the new Bonnie and more importantly simply being able to enjoy the moment. Sounds like you have an amazing sister. Enjoy the unveiling...you both deserve it and I'm sure you'll both be grinning from ear-to-ear.

be prepared , the bikes look pretty funky. they mark every single part on the bikes to show that it was inspected. the dealer has a lot of washing to do

My hat is off to you Deluxe and you are absolutely right; this IS a special occassion for you and I hope you and your sister enjoy it thoroughly. Also, for what its worth, I think the green and white Bonnies are one of the classiest colors that Hinckley has done with them and you don't see a whole lot of them either. That was the color I was going to go with until I found my Creamsicle by luck. I hope the unpacking is special for you and your sister and you get on this bike and start making more memories on her...good on you my man!!!

Very cool story. In my own mind (at least) I feel I can relate to how big this day is for you and your sister. What a great way to mark a new lease on life..Enjoy every second of it!

I hadn't even thought of the Triumph metaphor. Very cool indeed!

You are blessed to have a selfless sister, a second lease on life, and an exciting adventure in front of you on your Bonnie.
