After enjoying my 70th annual birthday on the 17th,I took a long and somber look at my life..and decided that the Rocket was too big and cumbersome to handle!Drawing upon years of serenity and wisdom enhanced with expert knowledge,I sold the Rocket and purchased a new 2012 Triumph Bonneville T-100(no forward controlls for this sore old butt  )...now I awaken each day with pleasurable anticipation of my new quick and nimble ride!Perhaps common sense will arrive with my 80th Birthday..and maybe not!!
life is good..I am retired..sold my America in 2008,bought a Rocket and sold that in 3/2013 and now own a new Triumph Bonneville T-100

Nice choice, Bob! And, congrats on the new purchase.  Yep, that Bonnie should be a little easier to throw around the corners up there, alright!  (...so, does this mean you'll have to change your handle around here, ol' buddy?) 
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)

Bonny-Bob? Bo-Bob ? B2 ?  Did you guys meet up somewhere yesterday ? Wish I'd known. Bike looks great. I hope he enjoys cleaning the wire wheels !

My client is innocent ! The handicapped sign goes with the spot next to him.
I think she should be called ......Merideth. Dunno, just sorta looks like a Merideth to me.

Hmmmmm...now Wade, lemme guess here. Could it be that the name "MerideTH" came to your mind 'cause Bob's sharp new machine looks like a Triumph that could have been made in "MerideN" back in the day?
(...just a wild guess, that's all!)

Right on! I'm 62 and just bought a new 2012 T100. I still have my Sportster and the T100 is quick and nimble compared to the Sportster. I'm going to post about it after the 500 mile check up and after I figure out how to post a picture.
