British Invasion!

Reswob · April 9th, 2013, 10:38 AM

It's not exactly the next bike I thought I'd end up with, but I got a deal I couldn't pass up on a heavily modified '08 Triumph Bonneville Black. Took her out for the first time today, and it's amazing! She handles much better than the retro look implies, and the get-up-and-go blows the little Ninja out of the water. I think we're going to be very happy together

She's a sweet looking ride!!! I'm sure y'all will have a lot of fun together

Good to see you got a propper motorbike.

Snake · April 9th, 2013, 10:43 AM

Congratulations. Great looking bike.

I am in the throes of bikelust. Great find!

Jiggles · April 9th, 2013, 11:21 AM

You jerk I want one!

aeroblade · April 9th, 2013, 11:27 AM

Congrats dude!

I love it

Is it just me or Is there a dent on the tank?

Reswob · April 9th, 2013, 11:37 AM

Well actually, there IS a dent on the other side of the tank. But what you're seeing is just the shape of the tank. The higher-spec model comes with rubber knee-grip pads that fit in the indented areas, which I will likely be purchasing in the near future.

aeroblade · April 9th, 2013, 11:42 AM

Oh cool

Any plans on other customizations?

Reswob · April 9th, 2013, 11:59 AM

Eventually I want to put a Thruxton gel seat on, I think that's about it. She came with an uninstalled fender eliminator kit, but I don't think it goes with the retro look.

aeroblade · April 9th, 2013, 12:16 PM

I like it regardless. I was just googling and I came across this one...

I love retro-modern blend in such bikes. IMO gives it an edge.

That bike looks fantastic!! Have fun with it!
