I picked up my new Triumph Bonneville T120 Black this afternoon. I've been pining for one ever since I sold my first Bonnie to buy my first house.

Celebrating with a PUR SEP 16 BCG - a cigar with an appropriately strong, dark profile for the occasion. 

Not a bad day at all

Nice! Though I haven't ridden one, I like the Thruxton R. I think if I were ever able to build a chopper, it'd be Triumph based.

Have fun!

[GotaCohiba]

Love the triumphs, ended up buying the bmw pictured second so my wife and I could enjoy longer rides/trips.

My first was the RT pictured.  When traded in it had 60k miles on it

One day I’ll get one very similar to yours to ride daily back and forth to work

Hard to beat the looks of them

I don’t have a bike, but love the look of that triumph. If I ever get into it, I’d go for something like that. Congrats!

Love a Triumph. Had the old, ugly 955 Tiger, and loved it, then traded for a 955 Daytona, which was amazing, but killed my knees. Now got a Guzzi Griso, but looking to sell, as I never am home long enough to enjoy it.

BMWs are fantastic bikes. I took a loooooooong look at an r nine t before I decided to stick with the Bonnie. I'd love to pick up a cruiser class some day.

Nice bike. Congratulations. 

This is my baby.  2016 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Lo.

That too bad, man. I wonder sometimes if I'm really gonna have enough time to ride enough to make it worth it.

I’m now a dirt bike guy. Gave up street and now go slow up in the mountains.

Hopefully you can, at least, stand with a cup of coffee admiring it. Mine has been under a rain cover for months. ?

My ride when I'm back in the states. 2013 Fatboy lo anniversary edition. Thinking about getting a street glide as a fairing would be great to break up the wind on the highway and have a radio built in.

It's a different style to the rest of you guys, but my daily ride is the Daytona 675.  Surprisingly this is the only photo I have of it, and no, those aren't mine in the background.

[MoeFOH]

Very nice! My last bike was an SV650. So much fun. Sweet engine. A bike small enough that you still had to "ride" it, but big enough to be tonnes of fun. 

Haven't ridden a Bonnie, but have always been a fan.

Enjoy!

Just getting into riding (mid-life crisis)...recently got my licence, and my little toddler bike (rebel 300) is on order. Will post photo once I get it...hope to get a HD or Indian or Triumph at some point in the future.

I also just started riding at the age of 43 last summer.  Always wanted a sportbike as a kid but never got around to it for some reason. 

So i picked up a 2012 ninja 250r figured i could learn on it then decide on a bigger bike.  Picked it up from dealer, started the 50km ride back to my home.  Halfway home making a left at a light i almost stalled it then got the throttle stuck open, panicked, grabbed brake, wham bam thank you maam bike flops hard on left side and there goes my collarbone lol.  

Hopefully learned from that accident.  Ive been out a few times since, my collarbone has finally healed pretty good, looking fwd to lots of fun this season starting soon.

Ouch....man, now i'm terrified of trying to take the bike home. Maybe I'll walk it the ten blocks from the shop to my place when it arrives. Or, I could take the back streets never getting above first gear.

Have the dealership deliver the bike to your house, or take it home on a trailer. Then sign up for a basic riding skills course; they're offered all over the place for usually around $200 and only take a weekend. They're pretty fun and really informative, and you'll feel a lot more confident getting on your bike for the first time!

Thanks. I've started talking to the school where I had my training sessions and M2 exit test from (two stage licence process in my province, and the first stage is only a parking lot course) to help me get home with the bike as they offer that service. Even then, I may just ride along the bicycle lanes...heehee...

Really looking forward to getting on the road with it, even if I'm terrified...
