After 3 seasons and 12,000 miles, I'm switching from Honda to Triumph. I had just left the Honda dealer in Middlefield, Ohio with 4 quarts of GN 10w30 oil and a filter.
Needed to stop by the local BMW dealer for a filter and oil for the old (1991) R100GS.
This was last Saturday, cloudy, not a riding day, so I was caging it. When I pulled into the BMW dealer's lot, what is parked in front of me but a lovely 2016 Triumph T 120. My closest riding buddy has a 2016 in the same color scheme .... cranberry and silver. It was a trade in.
This particular Bonnie has a grand total of 1500 miles on the odometer. So we're dealing. I absolutely didn't want to go from 3 to 4 bikes in the garage. The 2008 Guzzi 1200 Sport wouldn't bring any trade in dollars. And for sure I wasn't trading my 1991 R100GS I've owned since April, 1991. So it is with very mixed emotions that I'm trading the CB1100 on the T 120.
I'll stay in touch with the CB Forum. You've all been a great bunch, supporting a great bike!
