Ok guys
Here's the challenge. I'm a 46 year old mid life crisis candidate and last rode in 1982 when I wrote of a Yamaha 350 LC whilst trying to emulate Barry Sheen around Cadwell Park racing track. I haven't sat on a bike since until a couple of weeks ago, when after an intensive course I passed my bike test. Oh how I wish I'd taken it in 1982 when it consisted of a quick ride around the block and a tenner in the examiners pocket.
Anyway, I digress, back to my question. In 1981 my now brother in law turned up at our house one day on a Triumph Bonneville T120. It was love at first sight and I promised myself that one day I would own a Bonnie. So having sorted the legal riding stuff out, why haven;t I gone out and bought one? I've no idea to be honest. I guess there's a little more choice than I anticipated, i.e. T100, Se, America etc.
However, what I'm looking for from all you great and good Bonnie owners is to give me reasons why I SHOULDN'T buy a 'newish' Triumph Bonneville
I know it's a bit of a strange question, but I think I've already answered all the reasons why I want one, I just need to know if there are any downsides.
Over too you...
Cheers guys
