Talking Rode it home today!

My new (to me) Bonnie Black is now safely ensconced in my garage, next to the '59 Bugeye Sprite.



Was a bit chilly on the way home, but at least it wasn't snowing! All in all, a nice 50 mile jaunt home on the bike. Plenty of grunt up the canyon -- I-15 up Parley's Canyon, goes from 4500' to about 7000' or so, is one of the best tests of a vehicle. 5th gear and pulling well.

Big smiles all around! Now it just needs to warm up a tad.

Very nice- it looks like you're just an electric vest away from nirvana.

Congrats. Beautiful bike. Everyone knows that blacks are the fastest Triumphs. Looks like you had a good first trip.

Congratulations Drooartz on the new bike.
For some reason I never get tired of looking at pictures of black bonnies!
Soon the snow will melt over there, and you have beautiful places in Utah to ride to..

Congrats on the Bonnie. Did you get it at Accolade?

Up Parley's to Park City? Too cold for me. Nice bike.

I've always wanted a Spridget. Best tractor motored sports cars in existence. Reminds me of my old TR3 it does.
