Most cars that you buy in the US have at least 50% of the value produced in the US. WTF 25% tariff on cars . You are going to pay and pay for your folly electing Trump as your president. I sincerely hope that you feel shame for electing Mr. Orange. He is going to cost you jobs, $, a comfortable lifestyle which you have grown accustomed to and it will take a couple generations to get back to where We are. Thanks US citizens for screwing the N. American economy.

It's been quite a while since I chimed in!

Howdy everyone! My how things have changed here! I haven't yet figured out how to post photos of my 2007 America, 2012 Bonnie T100SE on this new forum format. It has been quite a bit since I posted in the forum (in fact I don't remember when I posted last, maybe 2015). Moderators: I should have posted this in the classifieds, but figured it might get more exposure in this thread. If you need to move it do so with my blessing.
Anyhoo, I have reached a point in my life where I need to make some changes due to my age and health (had a heart attack in 2019) mostly. For those of you that remember me, I have a 2007 America (Cinnamon Girl), and a 2012 Bonnie T100SE (Lil' Blackie) and they are #'s 14 & 15 of all the Triumph motorcycles I owned since my late teens.
My wifey (i got married in 2015) and have immensely enjoyed riding to many destinations in the U.S over the years. But alas, time has come to part with them! So, I would like to offer them for FIRST OPPORTUNITY SALE to BonnevilleAmerica.com members before listing them elsewhere. My firm price for either cycle is $4000.00 US. ($8000.00 for both) and includes my collection of bits & pieces [the OEM America Fenders,Tank & side covers] & other misc. parts & accessories [luggage & etc.] specific to each cycle).
Both machines have been meticulously maintained! The 2007 America is one of the last Carburated models produced and has had many upgrades since I bought it (Feb 2011) and runs like a top (in 2013 the CHP clocked me at 142.3 mph as I rode across the Mojave into Needles, CA!) and will still TON-UP with an easy roll of the throttle. Current mileage on the America is: 40,038.9 (avg of 2405.8 miles per year) since I bought it from the original owner (@ 6358 original miles) The 2012 Bonnie SE has only had some mostly cosmetic upgrades (the wifey's bike) & I have to re-install the battery to get it's mileage, but I am confident it will be under 10K miles. The T100 is EFI and only had 743 miles on the odometer when purchased in 2016.
If anyone is interested in purchasing either or both cycles (and the associate bits & pieces) please feel free to reach out to me either through the forum or via email at: kfehlers57@gmail.com or karl@markettradersmentors.com. I will be happy to send photos and more information about these cycles to all inquiries.
Sincerely, Karl (aka: Buffal0) Ehlers

Another leaves the fold

I joined this group before I had a Bonneville America. I was riding my Sprint and saw a sign for the BA NorEast rally. Of course, they welcomed me, invited me to sign the banner and ride along. I attended, camped and rode with them the next 2 years before the rally went the way of too many. I also joined this group online.
A couple years after the rally no longer existed, My wife bought a BA and I bought a new Tiger, planning retirement rides. Unfortunately, cancer took my riding partner and I inherited her Bonneville America. After too many years with too few miles I sold both of our retirement rides last week. For the first time in 30 years, I don't own a Triumph.
I will get another new motorcycle before long. It will likely be a Triumph, just not a Bonneville America.
Ride on. I'll be watching.

Took America out for a little ride today 25 miles.
America started right up and I warmed it up for three minutes and off I went.
63 and sunny.
Tomorrow back to the 50's but that is still above average.

Can't wait to ride

With each passing day I get closer to riding season. 60 forecast for next week.
Can't believe the 06 America is NINETEEN years old, 144,000 miles.
Down to 8,000 miles per season.
With a little LUCK, I could be riding by the end of the month, YUPPIE!
I know some of our friends are already riding and then there are those in the deep south that never have to stop riding due to cold weather.
Like my brother 76 degrees and partly sunny in Sarasota FL.
Here in Litchfield county in CT is 45 degrees and cloudy.
Hope to hear from some of you in response this thread.
