It started

I've been following some Triumph web forums as I've known for a while that I was going to get a Bonneville. Therefore I knew this was going to happen; older gentlemen approaching to complement me on the bike and tell me about the Bonneville they used to have.

Well it started Monday. I was stopped at a traffic light and heard someone repeatedly honking their horn. I turned to see what all the ruckus was about and the driver was giving me the thumbs up sign. How cool!

Then when stopped for gas, an older fellow approached and complimented me on the Bonnie. He proceeded to tell me about his Bonneville 750 which he sold because it went too fast. After racing his brother, who was driving a Corvette at the time, he knew he had to get rid of it or he would kill himself. Doing 120 mph made him feel like he was floating.

I'll keep you updated on my adventures.
