After years of riding pillion my wife has finally decided that she wants to ride herself so we are going to book a CBT training course.

She then goes on the Triumph web site and says she want one of them.... a Triumph Bonneville in Goodwin Green when she passes her test, so we may now have another rider coming to Sweden next year & Megan my daughter enjoyed herself so much that she has already booked her place for the Euro Rally next year

Now the only member of the family that doesn't ride is the dog & I am working on him


Martyn If you have to ask why I ride, you wouldn't understand the answer!

Glad to hear that another has joined the pack. If you get your dog riding let me know, I have three of my own but they won't be riding my bike.

That's excellent, I tried to convince my wife to do the same but she's too afraid.

Congrats to you and the wife. Big dogs could use a side car for maximum enjoyment and a small one could ride on some carpet or such secured to the gas tank. You could hardly enjoy a trip if man's best friend was left at home while all of his humans were gone riding. :>)

Martyn's dog is a little too big for on the bike.
He'd fit in a sidecar though!!

That only leaves Megan to get two wheels then (and that's NOT a pop at LUKE - what does he think of it?)

A Bonny would be a great first 'big' bike.
Please talk her into having the white and tangerine T100 though.
I managed to get a mate to get one - beautiful colour combo - he traded a Bandit in for it.
I have a pic of mine next to an old Bonny - I'll try and post it.



Hey Martyn.
I saw this butchered Rocket too .... LOL!!
