Hi,
still getting my bearings on how to get around the forums.
Does each bike have its own section?
I looked for a Bonneville area, but did not find one.
Thanks

We're centered around the Bonneville America/America/Speedmaster models but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying our company. You'll find the other Triumph models discussed at length at Newbonnevilleriders.com or Triumphrat.net (just to mention a couple of the many forums online).
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

A BIT of bull? 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Just to add a little, I have never owned a Triumph before.
So if I buy the Bonnie, it will be my first.

Barney, I loved my old '68 Triumph so much (I'd owned it for over 20 years and only recently sold it to a collector) I'd never think of owning anything else! 
I would be unstoppable if not for law enforcement and physics.

It's just a 'bit" if you consider an oil tanker a "boat"!

Barney, I've ridden the Bonneville SE, and I have to say I thought it handled brilliantly. The 17inch wheels make a noticable difference in this regard as compared to the regular Bonneville or the T100.
I also have to say that at first I wasn't sure about the look of the new SE, as it looks more 1970s-style Triumph in appearance with the standard cast wheels(as compared to what some might call the more "classic" 1960s look of the standard Bonnie and T100), BUT the more I see of that blue and white SE, the more I'm REALLY diggin' it! Yep, I wouldn't mind havin' one of those babies myself, ESPECIALLY as I said, after I test rode one of 'em.
If you decide to purchase one, I can almost guarantee that you will NEVER suffer from "buyer's remorse" later on!
These modern Triumphs are as smooth-running, reliable, pretty much maintenance-free, fun to ride, AND as eye-catching as any make of machine out there on the road today!
(...and probably MORE than the rest of 'em too!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

OOPS! Sorry Barney! I guess I should have posted the above in your other thread about the SE that's presently in the "Other Bikes" forum, huh?!  (tell ya what...just in case, I'll copy the above and add it to that other thread too)

Thanks to all of you for the replies.
And mountain, your welcome to visit any time.
Do you know where Chase is?
We are moving about 2 kms from the town center, right on the river shore.

I really like the old school looks, with a few nice modern touches like EFI.
Sweet looking bikes for sure.
