Hi Everyone,

You sure don't see many Bonnies around here. I saw someone in my neck of the woods on a T100 Opal & Black with a clear windshield.

The bike was coming south on Royal York at Lakeshore 3:00pm on this past Sunday. Anybody on this forum?

hey grayghost,

I am picking up my first bonneville in the next few weeks, do you know if the GTA has triumph club? I dont see many around here either but I wouldn't mind riding with or meeting some bonneville owners once I get my ride.

There's no group in Toronto at the moment, but if any of you guys want to meet up for a coffee and a ride one day you can count me in. Seems like there's finally a few of us posting on here now.
I'm right downtown.
See you around.

Sounds good for meeting up for a coffee and a ride.

My bikes going in for it's first service in the next week, after that I want to put some km's on.

I'm thinking of picking a spot to meet slightly west of the city as there were a few Bonnie riders in the K/W, and Hamilton areas that might want to come out. There is a Tim Horton's (no jokes please) on Highway 25 North of the 401 about 1 km of 401. That might work. A good jumping off point for some nice roads.

I have commitments the next couple of weekends but after that I'm good.

Hi nfld,

I'm not aware of a triumph club, but if there isn't maybe we can change that. Is this your first bike?

I saw the same Bonnie on Sunday going north on Mount Pleasant !! Would be happy to meet up but am still slow as my last sustained motorcycle riding was in Botswana 20 years ago.

Where do you get servicing done ? I have the choice of JR or Inglis or Sturgis. I don't think anyone has picked up the GTA franchise yet ??

I'm here in Toronto on business for a few days. Yesterday afternoon I was walking down Richmond Street from the Hilton on my way to the Hard Rock Cafe to pick up a T-shirt for my daughter (can't go home empty handed, y'know) and a guy passed me on the sidewalk wearing a Triumph T-shirt. I got to thinking about our forum dialogue regarding fans, posers, etc. No sooner had I passed this guy with the thought in my head, when a black & red T100 identical to mine passed right by me.

Just a minor coincidence, but I mean what are the chances?

Wasn't me - no windshield on mine... and I was in Vienna, where I saw a few Bonnies. Love seeing you TO Bonnie riders out there.

Also saw a sweet yellow Thruxton on Lakeshore in Oakville this evening. Seems that Triumphs are pretty hot here. I like it!
