NMD (New Motorcycle Day)

[patrickgm60]

Actually, was last week; just got around to setting up a Flickr account.

2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber. New old stock, with full warranty, on clearance. A short demo ride and I had to have her.

Totally opposite ride from my Kawasaki. Low-rev, lots of torque.
Photo (hopefully):

Hmmmm. I've tried both the Flickr "share" and "embed" links. Advice, please.

Here it is. What a very fine looking machine.

I copied the bit highlighted and used the Image Insert button on the toolbar to embed it.

Classic and classy wheels. I saw a bike (BMW) recently that made me think about riding again, but I think I'll stick to the non-motorized option

Thanks for the help and information, eatswodo!

Nice bike! I really like the look of that.

I love this bike! I like your colors too! When they first introduced the "Bobber" I was interested in motorcycles again since my 1971 BSA. I would like to hear about your impressions after a few miles down the road. Two things that concern me: A small gas tank with limited mileage and the fact that they run so low to the point that your scrapping footpegs on hard turns. I want one ! Congrats!.

Very cool. I have a love/don't love relationship with motorcycles since learning to ride some 50 years ago. Last year I decided to put my two-wheeler days behind me and purchased a '10 Mazda MX5 at a price that undercut most Harleys by 50%. Motorcycles are cool, but I find it comforting to not worry about wearing protective clothing, balance, entering an intersection when cars are present and being able to raise the top when it rains. Be careful out there....

I like it! A really retro bobbed looking ride. Congrats.

Absolutely love it! My first bike was a 1972 Yamaha 650 twin that I imagined was a Triumph Bonneville. Sweet ride!

Very nice catch! I have a 2016 T-120 Black, except for the factory recalls, a wonderful bike!

You are most welcome. While rather different in style, this brings back memories of my Tiger 90, the last bike I owned, some 40 years ago...

Now that is a very sweet motorcycle. I am jealous though, I gave up motorcycles and sold mine. Keep the rubber on the road.
