Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge how many dont know of this site

Went away to the coast for a few days. was in brighton monday walking along the the prom and saw a tba parked up . wondered if owner was a member. about 1hr later saw a couple in biker gear and the guy had on a triumph tee shirt . thought this looked promising. went up to them and asked the guy was it his tba . Yep but he had'nt heard of this site.
he was from swindon on a week trip. had owned the bike for over a year. told him about the site and gave him one of our " ba cards". Said will check us out when he gets home .so made me think how many tba and s/master lost souls out there dont Know about us. So spread the the word and save those poor trumpets whose owners are lost

forgot to say. "how did you find this site" . me just by chance surfing the webb

For me, it came up after I typed 'Triumph Bonneville America' into Yahoo search.

previous owner was a member

Jane told me about it at a family party.

I was suprised I remembered as I think I may have had a couple of beers.

Brent from newspeedmaster.com told me about it

I was on T-rat.net first then someeno from here PMd me this site.
I wish I knew who that was now. This site is so much better

I find it strange that the guys at the Dealerships don't know or don't tell about this site.

They also refuse to acknowledge aftermarket sources like the ones we have all grown to love and patronize.

I think they do their customer's a disservice by not providing "inside info" about our Triumphs...

Lucky Google hit during pre-purchase research. Since I don't do porn, it's probably my best find

Must admit that I have stumbled across , , , & .

I found it in winter of 03 doing a search of Bonneville America.

Beavis I think all dealers are not the same. Here in Kansas City my dealer has NewBonneville parts hanging on display behind the parts counter. I also know they scope out this forum and others.

True, my dealer in Belleville, IL has newbonneville/newspeedmaster trinkets hanging by the counter, and I know he is a member on the newbonnevillerider forum

I just kinda stumbled across this site. Not very active though...

Wait why am I here again?

Was here long ago looking for parts and when it wasn't that kind of site didn't come back for a couple years. Then was bored one day and joined to stir the pot some.

I found Uncle Pat's site & emailed him with questions about the Speedmaster.

I was searching the web for information about the rev limit and hit on some threads in the archive on the igniter module. Thats when I found the link to dinqua's site. That was helpful. The time would have been summer 2006 after I got my TBA. Came back some time later, a year or more, researching something else, and joined. I guess I was just wanting to know where I might connect and/or hook up with some other Triumph riders. There are some many v-rods and so few of us. My dealer told me about newspeedmaster.com but not about this site. I was delighted to find out that Brent was a member here. My dealer closed his shop and the mechanics opened up another shop but stopped handling Triumph. But the last couple weeks I've seen 5 or 6 differnt Triumphs in the area.

I was on the newtriumphbonneville forum in '05 when someone mentioned it. At the time I was undecided whether to go for the America or the Bonnie.

Just dang !

I honestly can't remember. I've slept several times since then.

Chy told me at the dealership when I picked up my TBA. Come to think of it he was there when I picked up my T100 as well. So in the attendance of blessed events category we have:

My lovely wife and mother to my children: 3
Chy (motorsickle mechanic extraordinaire: 2

Pre-purchase research in the Fall of 2003 - this was still the "Old Site" , then.

I was still thinking at the time that I wanted (needed?) a Honda VTX, and never had owned, much less ridden a motorcycle before.

I happened upon two Triumphs outside a casino in Lake Charles, La., in September, '03, and when I got home, I pulled up the Triumph website again and ordered a brochure (which came within 2 weeks), and stumbling around on the internet I found a link to BA.com. I hit the forum and found very quickly that most of my reasons for wanting shaft drive, water cooling, and radial tires were unfounded, and I also learned that the displacement myth was totally unfounded, learning here, of course, that several members had no worries travelling two-up, or handling long distances on these little 790 motors.....This forum sold me my Speedmaster.

Once I understood the value for the buck ratio, and the "Cool Factor" that comes with it, my mind was made up.

I took the basic MSF course in the Spring of '04, and then promptly walked in and told my dealer "I want that Black Speedmaster", and did the deal.

Finding out about this site was the only thing I got from T-RAT.net, and that was long before they started deleting any mention of other Triumph web sites from the threads. Idiots.

Yeah I remember finding this site looking for an exhaust for my 02 TBA,ended up joining and meeting a few local riders in my area.
Wasnt many here when I joined but it sure has grown over the years...

I'm thinking there's a lot of people who are fully aware of this site but choose to lurk rather than join.

after seeing a tba outside rugby truckstop googled it and found this site. lurked for a bit then joined after gettin bike

When I bought my Speedy I googled and found this place.

Google search got me here. This forum is the best. I just don't know enough to contribute very much. Thanks to all you great people.

cant remember where I first read about it, just came accross it by accident. best accident I ever had though.dont think a day goes past without checking in at least once.

I saw reference to this this on T-RAT, and then googled it. Glad I found it!

I was sitting around one day with not a single person to upset. Knowing that wouldn't do I surfed up a forum.

Maybe I will even buy a bike some year. I hear they are dangerous though.

I must have found it from a search - can't remember. It was right about the same time I bought my bike - July 2005. No one told me about it, but I was doing a lot of research on the bike.

When I first got my bike, I typed in Triumph.com. Wow, was I surprised.
