Movin' on up...

Mercutio57 · 11-08-2010, 03:02 PM

After about a year and half on "La Poderosita" I decided to move on up to my dream machine-- a Triumph Bonneville SE. I was going to put the GZ up for sale, but now the wife is thinking of taking the MSF course, in which case we'll keep it.

As for the Bonny, all I can say is "WOW!" That might not be very eloquent, but so it is. Power, grace (it handles like a dream), and that classic Britbike cool. Everywhere I go people ooh and ah over it. Sweet.

If we change our minds and do sell the GZ, we'll let you all know. It's 2009 with just under 9000 miles on it, clean & well maintained, with an MC Enterprises engine guard & sissy bar.

Congratulations on your new bike. Going anywhere special that you have highway cruising power?

Congrats. Now we need pics and riding impressions.

I test rode a Bonneville T100 this past Summer. Wonderful ride. Congratulations! You'll love it.

Just wanted to tell you I recently moved up to a Bonneville Black, Just love it! More power, better quality, handling, and the seating position. It handles great and is a lot more fun to ride, I have received many compliments regarding the retro look of the bike. I just love it! Nice to have enough power to go up hills in fifth gear. The SE model is truly a "beautiful" model, I like the looks better than the black model, (Mine) but enjoy the ease keeping the bike clean, as the spokes can be a pain on the SE model. You made a "great" decision, as I could not be happier with my purchase.
Congrats!

Yes,I still enjoy my GZ and plan on keeping it.

I try not to post much to this site as it has a few (Two)...individuals with strong "caustic" opinions. :fu: I am only posting because you seem like an intellegent person buying a Bonne.

Enjoy your new toy!

Saucer of milk anyone?

Seems like it's "(Three)... individuals with strong "caustic" opinions" Oh, and I don't appreciate you giving everyone who reads this the finger. It seems you too have an attitude problem.

Regardless of the actual number, it seems to ME that we have WAY too many users who are concerned about the personalities of other users......and who feel a need to constantly discuss it.

That's my "strong caustic" opinion for today. :shocked:
