Hello. I am new here.
My current ride is an '02 BMW R1150R, but I am inexorably drawn to the new Bonny as my "city" bike.
I am in Southeastern Wisconsin, and I would like to attend at least one "Brit" event this year in the midwest.
I am sure this forum will teach me a thing or two about Brit bikes.
Ride safe,
ultracyclist

Hew Howard. Welcome to the site. When I bought my 02 TBA my actual first choice was a BMW R1150R. I have to say with over 23K miles on my bike it has proven to be a great all around bike in the city as well as in the country and you can't beat the classic looks

Me too! Turned out to be a little too tall for my inseam, however, and the 1200C would've cost a bit more (like double) what I wanted to spend. Thank Zod I stopped by the Triumph dealership!

Repeat this traditional Buddhist mantra to help you in your decision: "Join the BA faction, be the center of attraction Join the BA faction, be the center of attraction Join the BA faction, be the center of attraction"  Point made? Welcome!!! Siggy
If life wasn't so pointless and absurd, I would take it more seriously.

Strike two! 
Victoria Bitter is from Australia (also tastes crap!)
I would recommend a case of Speights Old Dark!
(Oh yeah, welcome to the site, now go out & buy a TBA)
