Well, I had started out looking for another CB after realizing I should have kept mine. I was also considering a BMW R1200C cruiser, another bike that I had owned then sold. Well, IMO all the cruisers I looked at were way overpriced for a 15 year old machine and did I really want to buy something that old?
And I couldn't find a reasonably priced CB that compared to what I had had. Yeah, mine was just too nice.
So I would come to realize that there are some really good deals to be had on slightly used Triumphs. So I wound up with TWO 2014 Bonnevilles that were outfitted already with options I would probably buy anyway. Why two? I intend to keep them about 160 miles apart, one at home, and one at a summer home.
The white one has a Road Comet fairing from our friend Mr T!

Nice job, CVW. Comet fits nice! I also had two Bonnies, '05 and '06 that I took in separate accessorizing directions. They are remarkably versatile bikes for personalizing.

I bought a 2016 T120 in white and black, dressed it up with the Triumph accessory saddle bags and screen for light touring, and now I want a T120 Black for a pub cruiser. I'm happy that I'm not the only crazy person here.

Thanks guys! Ferret, the truck is my next door neighbor's.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see that Mr. T had the Road Comet for a Bonneville. And it is Bonneville specific. The slot on the left side near the turn signal is longer to accommodate the ignition switch that was still in that spot in 2014.
