Smugmug gallery here: http://www.benwoodbridge.com/Other/Bikes/Triumph-Bonneville-America/13950824_SZGgbI'm just loving this machine.. Lots of Ice and snow here in the UK at the moment, so she's tucked safely away, (I couldn't even get my 4x4 up the hill today, proper sheet ice!) In the absence of riding time, I'm digging out some recent pics. Some you may have seen, some not, hope you enjoy :-) First one: Taken on the iPhone4, as it was the only camera with me at the time. I was riding along, the mist in the field caught my eye, so I had no choice but to stop and try and capture it! Engine was still running at this point...  To me it proves the point, the best camera in the world is the one you actually have with you!

This one I took a week or two back on a late-night run up to the Cotswolds to visit my sister.. She's sporting her new RiggPack on the back for this one :-)

Well thank you, I appreciate that. Here's a few more b/w of mine, (not pics of the bike though) that you may like to see:
I'll remove them if this isn't allowed!

Well if they do remove them, I am glad I saw them before they did. Very good shots there.

The original owner fell ill when she was 10days old and never rode her again. She spent the next three years sat in a garage under a cover.. with the neighbour going in every month and starting her up, running the engine til she was properly warm, and then putting her away again.. so she never had the airflow over the pipes to cool her down, hence the bluing.. I picked her up at 3 years old with just 502 miles on the clock and she was like that already!
I do plan to remove the AI, but its not going to resolve the fact that theyre already blue..

WOW! I'll say!!! 
Ya know John, over at cycleworld.com they have a forum entitled "Random Pictures" which is geared toward photos that may or may not be motorcycle related, and after seeing Ben's shots here, well, considering as how you've been able to start up this new "Member's Rides" forum here I was just wondering what you might think of the idea of starting up our own "Random Pictures" at BA.com so we can all appreciate these absolutely great photos which folks like Ben and Johann and moe and....well, there IS a lot of talent around here and I for one think it would be great to be able to showcase some of it and make it easier to locate!?
(...so, what do ya think?)
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)

What a beauty! Heck, the bike ain't too bad either.  Seriously great pics, though!

Mine were waaaaay worse than that, but I buffed them up.
Took about six hours with them on the bike.

Besides the girls, the Pooles Key photo is my favourite. Like's everyone else, you have some serious talent there. I liked your comment on the iPhone too. Maybe I'm biased but having a camera on me all time has given me some nice pics I would not have taken without it.
