Two Stroke
Well, a year and a half after I sold my Bonnie Black I think I am back in the market for another Trumpet. A Thruxton this time.
I bought a Suzuki Bandit immediately after I sold the Bonneville. It was everything the Bonneville wasn't. It was stupid powerful. It was dead reliable. No offense, my Bonnie was buggy. It was a little top heavy. It had no soul.
I ran into some financial trouble earlier this year and posted my Bandit on Craigslist for a price that I thought would sell quick. No bites.
Fast-forward to two weeks ago, and I get a call out of the blue. This guy wants to know if I still have the Bandit for sale. Long story short, I sold it for what I was asking even though I wasn't sure that I wanted to sell.
My wife and I were discussing where to go from here. She proceeded to tell me in no uncertain terms that she thinks that selling the Bonneville was the dumbest thing I have ever done. "It's the most beautiful thing we have ever owned and you got rid of it." were her exact words if I remember correctly.
After some deep consideration I decided that I agree with her. The Bonnie is the only bike I have ever sold that I miss... a lot. Only I think a Thrux is the way to go. I prefer a slight forward lean and rear pegs over a strict standard riding position. For instance the Bonnie was infinitely more comfortable to me after I installed a set of M-bars, and I still put my feet on the back pegs any time I rode alone.
Anyway, this is an awfully long way of saying, "Hi guys, I'm back."
