Well, I took the seat off of my new T100 and found that it appears that the painter who stripped the tank has autographed his work. NOW THAT IS COOL. None of my Meriden bikes were autographed.

Hi Guy, yeah all the pinstripping is done by hand and signed, way cool.
How does your new Bonnie stack up against the old? Just curious.

I've taken my seat off a crapload of times and never noticed. :???:

Well, I may start a flame war, but today it got warm enough that I went for a short ride. We're in the Chicago area and winter here sucks. The new T100 pulls like a freight engine and sounds like a turbine. Modifications are coming. The old Bonnies and the Tiger are quite a bit older technology. I like the new one for the fact that you fill the tank and ride. I love the old ones because of who rode them in the past. I guess that if it was good enough for the likes of Steve McQueen, Gary Nixon, Gene Romero, and Don Castro, it is fine for me.

How's that for some old names. I do have all of their autographs on bike stuff. The only autograph that has eluded me for 10 years is Edward Turner. I was able to get John Bloor's, but I can't find Turner's. The neatest autograph I got was John Nelson, at dinner one night at a hotel in Meriden.

Mine is signed as well, very cool

Gary Nixon still races in AHRMA and sometimes the Thruxton series I believe so you can actually go to the races and see him do his thing.

Mine, isn't signed.
Can I get Warranty Repair honored on that?
