Hi All,

I’ve had my black and red T100 for three weeks. 1000 km on her and so far she’s wicked. The only mod I’ve done is replace the headlight with the Sylvania. Also have a dart flyscreen and horn coming from New Bonneville. I figured I’d leave everything else stock for a while to see what I like, don’t like. But after riding with a friend on her Suzuki s40 yesterday and realizing hers sounds better, I figure at least a bafflectomy is in the cards.

Here she is (nothing you haven't seen before)








This was my last bike.



Cheers,
Buzzardskeet

The stock tire wasn't leaving me with a lot of confidence in the twisties so I put on an Avon. Other than that I think they got it right.

Thanks Bazza. The garage is neat and tidy because I just finished the inside (electrical, insulation, walls, ceiling) a week before the bike arrived. I'm usually not in Ridge's class. I have to finish the garage mods before I do very much with the bike. Next is a gas furnace to keep the Bonnie cozy over the winter.

Cheers.

Love the bonnie - but really love your last bike - brings back fond memories of my youth - the trial 50 I rode in '70 had no rear shocks though - we stripped every last piece off those bikes we could, and raced em in the corn field behind the neighborhood. JCW
