I'm just another T100 rider signing up for the first time here.


Hi. I'll put some stuff up on the profile once I figure some of the toggles out.

Sure Hank, how about 2; one today of me and the bike, 75 degrees in No Wisconsin today. I'm just getting ready to head out to run some errands taking the long way. Only my 2nd ride of the new season.

This is a head to head of my friends 1976 Bonneville and mine. My bike is stock. I'm very good about maintaining it but, I'm not a gifted wrench so I just try not to screw things up to much.

Thanks for pics. Nice comparo of old & new. Is your's a 2008? We should be getting some warm weather here (north tip of NY) in a couple of days, looking forward to getting out and logging on some miles!

You're East of us and I beleive its heading your way, you'll love it however it is windy with a capital WINDY!


Mine is a 2006. So the bikes are 30 years apart. Its amazing how the kids get bigger than the parents.

I know, right? Our bikes are about a hundred pounds heavier, than the 650's of old, not quite so nimble, but more reliable & roadworthy. Guess I can deal with the extra pounds.

North of Minocqua, in the Chequamegon Bay area. Its been absolutely nuts up here weather wise. We should be in the 40's for highs. I left the house at 6 PM for a short ride tonight, on the south side of the Bay it was 70 degrees. Over on the northside it was 47. Inland it was 70. Most years we'll still have snow on the ground.

Greetings and welcome Henry. For now you're an FNG but soon enough you'll just be another plain old FG like the rest of us.

Cheers :cheers:
