I've been after one of these for a long time, as, IMHO, the '70 Bonnie represents the pinnacle of the line, the final iteration of the pre- oil in frame. I located this one in Florida, and it arrived today. Completely restored and correct. Started right up after 35 or 80 kicks!
Needs some fresh gas and fettling, but did around 25 miles around the Shore on a lovely spring day, and I'm impressed. Really light and nimble compared to today's bikes, complements my Hinckley Bonnie, and more civilized than my Norton P11.
