    50th Anniversary Party this weekend in the UK

    Anyone going to the 50th Anniversary party of the Bonneville this weekend in the UK? I'm headed up there from Belgium and was going to leave Friday. Will take the Chunnel train and leave from Brussels early Friday morning.

    Snatchy Throttle FIX apparently found

    I have a new Bonneville Black EFI and today had new British Customs (BC) pipes put on here in Belgium. BC said to use the Arrow 2:2 as a mapping with the dealer. I just got the bike back and it runs perfectly. I asked the dealer (they did the first service and changed the pipes at the same...

    Finally, my first new bike

    Unfortunately the house in the background is not mine, it is a farmhouse I road past in the countryside. Thought it made for a good photo! Not really sure what the pink tower thing is. As a US citizen in Brussels, there is a treaty that allows a "like for like" exchange of licenses. I was...

    My new 'dark one'

    Just to confirm (as I think I have the same bike), in 2009 the Bonneville black does not have the wire wheels. I like the look of the wire wheels and 60's versus 70's style of the 2009, so I bought one of the last of the 08 EFI Blacks. Are you sure it is a 2009?

    Have'nt ridden in 33 years

    Definitely recommend the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. You can find it at most local community colleges. They supply the bikes and everything so if you make a mistake, you don't scratch your Bonnie. In addition, most insurance companies give you a discount if you have taken the course...

    Triumph optional "track only" exhaust system and Arrow exhaust options

    In their accessory catalog, Triumph advertises a closed circuit exhaust system for $489 as well as the Arrow 2 into 2 exhaust system for $1,199. I've seen/heard the Predators on You Tube and wondered how the Triumph products compared. Does anyone have them? If so, how do they sound...
