Triumph Bonnevilles? Show 'em off!
#1
I've noticed that there a LOT of other Bonnie owners here, so I thought I'd toss mine up in the hopes that others would show off theirs, too.
(I'm guessing that I may find there are several other Triumph RAT members that I haven't recognized, too - )
Anyway, mine's not what's usually expected, being a '12 mag-wheel variety that I've done a fair amount of modding to. Here's a few of her many iterations:

Beautiful bike! I especially like the fairing.

Oh thanks! That's a factory piece, and the only optional item ordered the day I bought the bike. I've been amazed at how many compliments I get on it.

Papa, that's such a great looking Bonnie. I used to have one (not nearly as nice as yours) but I traded it in for the VFR. Of course, I still have a few photos of her at a condo I used to rent:

It killed me to put that backrest on there but I was still courting the woman who would later become my wife. The backrest was a must to convince her to ride with me. It seems she's fine without one on the CB or VFR and that makes me very happy.

I am a fan of Bonneville in general, buy this one is awesome. I'm not even a fan of gold motorcycles, but this one pulls off that colour nicely.

It certainly is. You posted your pics before I hit the submit button on my comment

C'mon now, let's be honest. Your post would have read the same regardless! Haha. I was joking because clearly the compliment couldn't and wouldn't have been directed at my Bonnie.

Aw ... MG. Your Bonnie wasn't gold. We can see that. But it was handsome nonetheless.

Also no longer mine (belongs to my younger brother)...2003 Bonneville T-100 Centennial model in Lucifer orange and silver with optional grab rail, optional center stand, Triumph "Off Road" mufflers and Kawasaki fork gaiters. Bought it new in 2003, put 20,000 miles on it including my wife and I touring all the National Parks in Utah and AZ.
