Put a deposit down on a new motorcycle
I'm doing less riding these days and have decided to sell my big touring bike. I think this will do the job for me now.
 Picture from the web, but the same bike and color. |

Congrats
 Looks almost the same as when I bought one in 1968. Except for some minor changes of course.

What a classic. Reminds me of a mid-1960s bike. Something about the seat design and the chrome grab rail. The cylinder heads and pipes. My Honda '71 CL also comes to mind.
I can almost smell the rubber and burnt oil, superheated metals and hydrocarbons, off that image! |

I haven't ridden any of the Triumphs personally but that is a cool looking bike for sure.
I'm more of a Ducati guy myself. Congrats though. Keep the rubber side down. |

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm really looking forward to getting it. I haven't been excited about a motorcycle in a long time.
It's a 2018 Bonneville T-120. |

Excellent
That looks like a fun little runabout. Enjoy EDIT: I just looked up the specs online. That thing will get you into trouble for sure if you want it to. Looks like a great time every time.

I remember in the 60's they were Triumph 650's. Look similar to yours, but yours is probably much faster.

I love the classic Triumphs. It brings back great memories when my neighbor would give us rides around the block on his Triumph.
