Brought the Bonnie home May 3rd, 2006. 7000 miles and a handful of mods later, smiles per mile keeps going up and up with no end in sight.

I love this thing. A big cheers to all you Bonneville owners! :chug:

one year and two months for me! the mods are just so addictive!

How are the avons performing? alot of people rave about them and im thinking of giving them a try

My bridgestones give plenty of grip but after 2000 miles they have seen better days

----------------------------

airbox cut up (K&N pods) norman hyde silencers, norman hyde 'uk bars' hagon front springs and rear shocks, rear mudguard cut down, head gasflowed/skimmed.

Future mods will be a paintjob (similar to that dark red and white TT bike at mecatwin) and maybe, just maybe bigger carbs depending on my salary in ten years time :-D

My one year is today! Not so many miles - but a hellva lot of mods. Doing the Jenks snorkel replacement today - last in a line of engine mods. Oh well - there'll probably be more along later....

Very well, thanks. A bit grippier than the BT45's and a nice smooth ride.

June 3rd. 3 years for my America. 31,000 miles and modifications too numerous to mention here. I can't see ever getting rid of it. It has been a fine machine and I have had virtually no mechanical or electrical troubles with it. :-D :-D :-D
