I've been a Triumph fan since a boy. My uncle and dad rode and raced both Triumphs and BSA's in West Texas. As a kid I rode a cub then a highly modified Bonneville in a Chainey frame, better known as a desert sled. I've riden that sled 100's of miles in the desert, hill climbing (non comp) and in the mountains and loved every minute. Fast forward 15 or more years and life took over in the form of a career, marriage and a kid with little to no riding (bummer). I inherited the CCM BSA desert sled from my uncle and my 71 yr old dad has the Chainey twin and, he is supposed to have rebuilt the twin and helped me setup an electronic ignition on the single...which I've waited 7 years for him to do, and am still waiting. SO, last month I bought a used stock 2008 Bonneville Black and have already done a couple mods and got my dad to take her for the spin and guess what he is stoked and back in his garage ordering parts for the old twin. Man did he grin the whole time he was in the saddle...and I bet it had been more than twenty years since he last rode. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be able to ride with him and learn a lot here while upgrading my bike and riding as much as I can. Great, now that I've got the intro out of the way, I can PM the classifieds and hopefully get some fair deals
