Hi everyone.
I've had my Bonneville for a few months now, it's my first bike after a 20 year gap. I couldn't have picked a better bike for my return. Its a 2011 Bonneville SE 865 which was completely original when I bought it but I have since added some Norman Hyde Toga pea shooter pipes and a T100 seat.

The photo was before I changed the pipes.
I never expected a Bonneville to be as much fun to ride as it is.

New member, new rider and new owner of a 2001 Bonneville 790cc. This was a true barn find with less than 2K miles. This is a first bike for my late teen sons as well so it can look forward to many years of riding.

Unfortunately the prior owner had eclectic tastes and had repainted the original. Lots of worked to do to bring this back to life…starting with cleaning out the entire fuel system as it sat for several years with fuel in the tank and someone repeatedly tried to start it (unsuccessfully of course).

Hello

Hello everybody. Figured I should finally introduce myself. I bought my new Bonnie at the end of April and turned 3K today. I also posted a small ride report from a trip today if you're interested.

The forum has been a great help already, even before I bought the bike.

Anyone in the Atlanta area looking for someone to ride with, shoot me a PM.

G'day Tyler, nice looking bike mate. I have a 2010 Speedmaster, after hopping of a Harley. I just love my new bike & the forum members have been a wealth of information & very friendly.

Great find Mango, a lot of work, but what a great project. Being ex military I rather like the colour scheme. I can just see the expression on the dealers face when u take it in for it's first service. lol Digger

Not a new member but a old new member. I bought a 2014 T100 from the showroom floor. I sold it in 2017 which was a mistake but I needed the space and money at the time. I just bought a 2015 Scrambler with 8,000 miles and I’m happy to be back in the game.

I absolutely love the high pipes

Hello, I just picked up a neglected 2015 Bonneville base model so I thought I should introduce myself. I've been digging through the archives to solve it's various problems and making progress. It's a low mileage bike, but I'm amazed at the damage done to the electrics from sitting in the rain for years! My '96 Trident was kept in a garage by the PO and has been problem free.
