-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Triumph textile jacket with liner, Size XL. Excellent condition: Little evidence of wear or fading (my wife has proclaimed it "like new"). It was purchased "early in this century" by friend who was grounded by...

Could I get a little help from one of you experienced Triumph Wizards? I want a 19" front wheel for my 09 Bonnie Black, and prefer not to have to totally convert from cast to spoke wheels. Found a 2006 Triumph Tiger 955 i Front Wheel Rim (Michelin 110/80-R19 Tire) which looks like it would be...

Three variations of bar-end mirrors available from newbonneville.com.

I bought the basic black Bonnie and added a small tach kit and a few other accessory items, and couldn't be happier.

How Old? I'm 69-- which means I may have posted a response to this thread earlier (when I was a little younger)... Bought my first new motorcycle in 1967, and have probably owned two dozen of assorted flavors since then. Currently have the 2009 Bonnie and a 1983 BMW R65. Commute a couple of...

Really enjoying the '09 Bonneville I bought new, last fall: For me, it's the perfect bike, just as it is (now that I've added a small windshield, BillyBars, handlebar risers, mirror extensions, luggage rack, mini-tach inD9 bracket, adjustable rider pegs, and an aftermarket T100 seat)...

I'm also not a hard-riding high-revver-- but I added a mini-tach in a D9 bracket, and haven't regretted it... As someone mentioned, I even like to know how it's idling-- and once in a while I'm in a situation which does call for more RPMs. ymmv.

Nobody appreciates the Yankees more than us Rangers fans...

Saddle on a sow? Well, I have seen a sow on a saddle-- on the pillion, technically...

My '09 Bonneville (and the rest of the family) are considering relocating from Plano to Galveston. Would appreciate feedback from any Houston-area riders who have service experience with British/USA in South Houston!

...for this old rider, at least! Recently acquired a slightly used "Cafe-style" seat by Sixty-8 for my new '09 Bonnie. Stock seat was a little hard, and I was restricted to sitting on the front part of the seat, or to sitting on the hard ridge (and strap) where the seat transitions to the...

Bienvenu! J'ai vecu a Grenoble, quand j'avais six ans (1952). Ma Bonneville est ma premiere Triumph (apres beaucoups d'autres marques Japonais et Allemands. Et finalement, veuillez excuser mon Francais!

Just replaced the stock horn with the 123dB Stebel from newbonneville.com (shown in SweatMachine's post)... My next step is to reinstall the stock VW bug-sounding horn, plus a relay, to give the two-tone honk. As for volume, the replacement is more piercing than stock (so it might be more...

Let's grade the Bonnie on durability... Which is why I switched from another European make that was tough and well-engineered, but required constant wrenching to stay on the road. I would bet on the Bonneville over most comparable-displacement bikes in an endurance race.

Can't we all just get along (at least until Patty unveils the superseat)?
